The Kiha 47-0 and 1000 series were introduced as vehicles suitable for warm climates, mainly for the Western Japan region, and are equipped with two-stage lifting passenger windows.
Vehicles owned by JR West have undergone engine replacement and vehicle renewal work, and their appearance has changed significantly. Vehicles currently belonging to the Goto General Rolling Stock Depot Operation and Inspection Center and the Tottori Branch are in service on the San'in Main Line between Hamasaka and Nishiizumo, the Inbi Line between Chizu and Tottori, and the entire Sakai Line, and until March 2020, they were in service up to Wakasa Station on the Wakasa Railway.
Since 2016, line colors and route symbols have been introduced in the Yonago Branch (now the San'in Branch) area, and the design of the direction sign on the Kiha 40 series has been changed accordingly.
