To celebrate the second anniversary of the Kyushu Shinkansen, ¥500 tickets are available for travel on Sat. Mar. 16th. The JR Kyushu’s special one coin tickets can be used for travel between one station to the next station on the Kyushu Shinkansen line only. The tickets can save travelers up to 75%. The sale tickets will be available for purchase between Feb 16~Mar 15 for travel on Sakura and Tsubame trains. The shinkansen between Hakata and Kokura is on the Sanyo Shinkansen line and therefore will not accept the one coin tickets. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun, Feb. 14
