Although a non-reserved limited express ticket costs \840 even for a short distance ride, for example, between Tokyo Station and Ueno Station or between Tokyo Station and Shinagawa Station on the Shinkansen line, a limited express ticket for these sections costs \100, the lowest of JR limited express tickets, because only trains dealt with on regular railway lines run on these sections.
新幹線では、東京駅から上野駅・品川駅などの短距離区間でも自由席特定特急料金が840円となるのに対し、この区間は在来線特急扱いの列車しか走らないこともあり、特定特急料金がJRの特急料金では最低の100円となる。
