=On the aggregate table, JEF United Ichihara, Avispa Fukuoka, and Vissel Kobe had earned within the 15th-18th places in the tables for both 1997 and 1998, while Consadole Sapporo had achieved within the same span on its sole season on the J.League. (Gamba Osaka, who had finished between Sapporo and Kobe, was reprieved because of the collapse and resignation of Yokohama Flügels.) These clubs thus were entered in an elimination promotion/relegation tournament along with Japan Football League runners-up Kawasaki Frontale, who unlike champions Tokyo Gas had a base more qualifiable for the J.League.
First round
Kawasaki forms J.League Division 2 the next season. Fukuoka advances to the next round.
Second round
The winners of this round stay in J.League Division 1 and the losers play a final elimination series to determine the club relegated to Division 2.
Final round
Fukuoka stays in J.League Division 1. Consadole is relegated to new J.League Division 2.
