NB: changes before season: Consadole Sapporo promoted to J-League 1998;
Fukushima FC and Seinoh Transports disbanded;
NTT Kanto renamed to Omiya Ardija,;
Sony Sendai and Albirex Niigata promoted to JFL;
Kokushikan University admitted to JFL.
Since only Kawasaki Frontale and Brummell Sendai had J-League
associate membership, only they were eligible for the promotion
playoffs to the J-League first division 1999, provided they'd
finish in the top two of the JFL. Therefore not champions
Tokyo Gas but Kawasaki Frontale participated in those playoffs.
Round 1 [Nov 19]
Avispa Fukuoka 3-2 Kawasaki Frontale [OT]
Kawasaki Frontale remain at second level (J-League 2nd division in 1999).
