One-stop connections via Tokyo or Osaka reach Sapporo, Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Okinawa. Choose Tokyo for the capital, Osaka for food and culture, or Fukuoka for a closer Kyushu hub."
      },
      "q1": {

        "question": "Which airports in Japan are best to fly into from Oita?",

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Japan?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Oita Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Oita Airport is connected to Oita City center primarily by public bus and a distinctive hovercraft service, which is faster at about 35 minutes versus roughly an hour by road. The hovercraft is popular for its speed and novelty, while buses offer a more conventional and generally cheaper option. Taxis, ride-share, and driving with parking are also possible but tend to be less common for airport access due to the airport's offshore location and lack of train service.",
