The EF81 type is an electric locomotive that was introduced in 1968 and is compatible with direct current and 50Hz and 60Hz alternating current.

From the 137th onwards, vehicles with a awning on the front window were introduced, and the 133rd to 136th vehicles were also modified to have one installed in later years. The

EF81 type owned by JR East has had its paint color changed from rose pink to Red No. 2, and some vehicles have been modified to be equipped with double-headed couplers.

In addition, the electric heating indicator lights on the sides of the car body were removed from around 2022.

The EF81 type owned by JR East used to pull many regular passenger trains such as the "Hokutosei" and "Akebono", but is currently used to pull special trains such as the group-only special train "Cassiopea Journey" and supply trains.
