The Kyushu Shinkansen line is provided with no connected ride discount, but when you get off a Shinkansen train at Shin-Yatsushiro Station and ride on a limited express on the Kagoshima main line there, without exiting from the entrance/exit gate, a special limited express fee covering both train rides is applied.
また、九州新幹線には乗継割引の制度がないが、新八代で鹿児島本線の特急列車と改札を出ずに乗り継ぐ場合は、両方の列車を通じて特定の特急料金を適用する。
