The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 1989.
The 7000 series was introduced in 1989 with two six-car sets and one four-car set. The remaining nine cars would be built between 1991 and 1993.
In 1993, three test 6000 series vehicles would be renumbered and incorporated into a fourth seven-car set.
These trains would be the basis for the 7000 series introduced in 1992.
Between 2006 and 2008, the sets received accessibility upgrades, such as wheelchair spaces.
A refurbishment programme for the 7000 series fleet was announced in January 2024. The refurbishment includes a redesigned interior based on that of the 13000 series, audible door warnings, internal LCD information displays, LED lighting, updated control equipment, and full-colour LED destination displays. The first treated set, 7002, returned to service on 21 January of that year. The entire fleet was scheduled to be refurbished by fiscal year 2025.
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout.
The seven-car trains are formed as follows, with three motored ("M") cars and four non-powered trailer ("T") cars.
