        "question": "How do I get to Matsuyama Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Matsuyama Airport is small and close to the city center, about 5.6 km west-southwest, so the most common way is the direct Iyotetsu airport bus, which is fast and inexpensive, though it does not offer a dedicated rail link. Alternatively, a taxi from downtown takes only about 10–15 minutes and is the fastest door-to-door option. Ride-share services like Uber are not widely available in Matsuyama, and driving yourself is possible with paid airport parking, but it is generally less convenient for visitors.",
