History
editThe 3000 series trains were introduced into service on 19 October 2008, coinciding with the opening of the Keihan Nakanoshima Line.[6] It was initially used on most service patterns, but later was redeployed on limited express services.[2]
The trains received the Laurel Prize in 2009.[2]

Premium Car introduction
editFrom 31 January 2021, all sets' sixth cars were replaced in service with newly built Premium Cars at a total cost of ¥1.2 billion (US$10.93 million).[7] The new cars allow premium services to be provided on all daytime express trains.[8] While the outgoing cars' future was undecided at the time, it was confirmed that they will not be scrapped.[5] In June 2023, outgoing car 3751 was renumbered 13871 and inserted into 13000 series set 13021, replacing car 13771 of that set.[9] The following month saw car 3753 renumbered to 13873 and inserted into set 13023.[10]
The 3000 series' Premium Cars share some attributes with those of the 8000 series fleet, such as the golden passenger door on each side and Nanoe X air purifiers. However, they feature a seat pitch of 1,040 millimetres (41 in), a 20-millimetre (4⁄5 in) increase over those of the 8000 series.[8] They also feature compact "Infoverre Window Series Bar Type" external LCD destination displays.[11]
The introduction of the Premium Cars led to the 3000 series receiving the Laurel Prize again in 2022, with the Japan Railfan Club citing the cars' "high degree of perfection".[12]
