Special liveries
editIn April 2024, Sotetsu announced that two 10000 series sets would receive retro-styled liveries:[3] set 10705 received a "Nostalgic Wakakusa" livery based on the fleet's original livery, and set 10708 received a "Classic Red Stripe" livery based on Sotetsu's legacy red livery. The two sets returned to revenue service on 18 May 2024, and they were scheduled to carry the liveries until November.[4]

Refurbishment
editIn 2020, 10-car set 10701 received restyled front ends, an all-over "Yokohama Navy Blue" livery, full-colour LED destination displays, and a renovated interior.[5][6] Sets 10702 and 10703 received a less extensive treatment, which only affected front-end styling and onboard equipment.[7]
