        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "From Narita Airport, the fastest mass transit option to central Tokyo is the Narita Express (N'EX) train, taking about 55–60 minutes to Tokyo Station. The Keisei Skyliner is another express train, reaching Nippori/Ueno in around 40 minutes. Airport limousine buses serve major hotels and districts, while taxis are available but expensive (over ¥20,000). Ride-share services are limited, and rental cars are an option though not commonly used for city-center trips. The Narita Express and Skyliner are the most popular choices, with the N'EX being especially convenient for JR Pass holders.",

        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Narita is the primary long‑haul gateway, located about 60 km east of central Tokyo, and handles most international flights. Haneda is much closer to the city centre, about 15 km south, and is heavily used for domestic and an increasing number of international routes, especially business‑friendly slots. Ibaraki is a minor option far to the northeast, serving a few low‑cost carriers. For this domestic flight from Hiroshima, Haneda is typically the most convenient choice."

        "question": "How do I get to Hiroshima Intl from the city center?",
        "answer": "Limousine buses are the most popular and direct link from central Hiroshima, departing from the Hiroshima Bus Center (about 53 minutes) and Hiroshima Station (around 45 minutes), though travel times can increase with traffic. Taxis offer a faster but pricier door-to-door option, while ride‑share services are not widely available. Driving takes roughly the same time as the bus via the nearby San'yō Expressway, with parking available at the airport; there is no direct rail connection, so the train requires a transfer to a bus or taxi at Shiraichi Station.",
