The Tobu N100 series (Japanese: 東武N100系, romanized: Tōbu N100-kei), branded Spacia X (スペーシアX),[3][4] is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tobu Railway on limited express services in Japan since 15 July 2023. A total of four 6-car sets were built by Hitachi to replace the ageing 100 series EMUs which have been in service since 1990.[5]
