        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Ishigaki-jima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Ishigaki (ISG) to Tokyo takes about 3 hours to 3 hours 15 minutes, with flights serving both Haneda (HND) and Narita (NRT). Japan Transocean Air and ANA operate direct service. Connecting flights via Okinawa (OKA) add roughly 1 to 2 hours to total travel time. The return flight from Tokyo to Ishigaki is similar in duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Ishigaki-jima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Ishigaki-jima (ISG) to Tokyo every day of the week, operated by three airlines: Japan Airlines (JL) and ANA (NH) both fly daily into Haneda (HND), while Peach Aviation (MM) flies daily into Narita (NRT). With a combined 70 weekly flights each from JL and NH plus 49 from MM, there is very robust nonstop service on this route throughout the week.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo is served by two airports, Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND), with most domestic flights from Ishigaki arriving at Haneda. From Haneda, the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about twenty minutes and the Keikyu Line connects to Shinagawa and central Tokyo in roughly fifteen minutes, making rail the fastest and most popular option. From Narita, the Narita Express reaches major stations including Shinjuku and Shibuya in sixty to ninety minutes, while the Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in forty-one minutes. Limousine buses serve both airports and connect to major hotels, though traffic can extend journey times. Taxis are comfortable but expensive, and ride-share apps have limited availability in Japan compared to other countries. Car rentals are practical for exploring beyond Tokyo but unnecessary within the city given its excellent rail network. Most travelers use trains for their speed, reliability, punctuality, and reasonable cost."

        "answer": "{\"answer\": \"No specific booking-timing data is available for the Ishigaki-jima (ISG) to Tokyo route, but based on general patterns for domestic Japanese flights, booking around 4–8 weeks in advance typically yields the best fares on competitive routes like this one. For peak summer travel (late July–August) and major Japanese holidays such as Golden Week, Obon, and New Year's, you should book 2–3 months ahead, as seats fill quickly and prices rise sharply closer to departure.\", \"relevant\": false,\"toolsUsed\":[]}"

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Ishigaki-jima and Tokyo?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic Japanese route, so connections are straightforward. Naha (OKA) in Okinawa is the most common layover, offering frequent onward flights to both Haneda (HND) and Narita (NRT). Miyako (MMY) also serves as an occasional stop. Both hubs have short transfer times and are served primarily by ANA, JAL and Peach."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Ishigaki-jima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "On-time performance on this domestic route is generally reasonable but can be disrupted by typhoons and seasonal weather common in the Ryukyu Islands. Morning departures tend to accumulate fewer delays than later flights. ANA and JAL both serve this route and maintain strong overall punctuality records in Japan, making either a reliable choice, though no guarantees apply during typhoon season from June through October."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Ishigaki-jima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic Japanese flight, so a government-issued photo ID such as a My Number card, driver's license, or passport is sufficient. No visa, travel authorization, or proof of onward travel is required. Bring a payment method for checked baggage fees. Vaccination certificates are not required for domestic travel in Japan."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Haneda is closer to central Tokyo and handles most domestic routes, making it the likely arrival point from Ishigaki. Narita is farther out and primarily serves international long-haul flights. For this domestic route, Haneda is the practical and more convenient choice."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to New Ishigaki Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Ishigaki city center to New Ishigaki Airport, buses run regularly and take about 30 minutes, making them the cheapest and most popular option. Taxis take around 20 minutes and cost more. Rideshare services are limited on the island. Driving and parking at the airport is straightforward and reasonably priced for short stays."
      },
      "q14": {
        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Tokyo airport?",

At Narita, Nine Hours capsule hotel operates in Terminal 2, and the Narita Excel Hotel Tokyu is inside Terminal 2. No shuttle is needed for any of these properties."
      },
      "q15": {
        "question": "Are there currency exchange offices, prayer rooms and Wi‑Fi at Narita Intl Airport?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic route within Japan so currency exchange is largely irrelevant. Tokyo airports offer free Wi-Fi throughout terminals. Prayer rooms are available at Narita in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and currency exchange counters operate in international areas but are less relevant for domestic arrivals."
      },
      "q16": {
