3006F of the EMU 3000 series travels on the Keisei line
The Japan Meteorological Agency made an announcement that this year's rainy season started on June 11th in Tokyo. It's a gloomy hot and humid period for Tokyoites before midsummer, but it's a pleasure to see some of the beautiful flowers, which only bloom in this season.
The iris is a typical flower that blooms during the rainy season in Tokyo. Large colorful flowers attract millions of gardeners and flower lovers. My favorite is the bluish purple (Edo-murasaki) colored blossom. It's gorgeous and elegant. I recently visited the famous Horikiri Iris Garden for the first time in eight years. Admission to the Horikiri Iris Garden is free, as it's operated by the very generous Katsushika Ward Office... thank you. I saw many people wearing masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, which was new in 2020.
To get to this gorgeous garden, the nearest station is Horikiri Shobuen (Horikiri Iris Garden) on the Keisei line. I enjoyed taking photographs of the Keisei trains such as the EMU 3000 series on the way back home. The 3000 series is Keisei's standard commuter train, which was launched in 2002. Forty-eight sets (326 cars) were built by Nippon Sharyo, Tokyu Sharyo, and J-TREC between 2002 and 2019. The 3000 series has an IGBT-VVVF (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor - variable frequency drive) inverter electric control system with 125 kW induction motors. The EMU Shinkensei-N800 series, Hokuso 7500 series, and Chiba New Town Railway 9200 series have the same technical specifications as the Keisei 3000 series.
