        "answer": "Tokyo is served by two airports, Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). From Narita, the Narita Express (N'EX) reaches Shinjuku or Tokyo Station in about ninety minutes and is the most popular option for visitors. The Keisei Skyliner to Ueno takes around forty minutes and is slightly cheaper. Limousine buses connect Narita to major hotels and districts in ninety to one hundred twenty minutes depending on traffic. From Haneda, which is closer to the city, the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about twenty minutes, and the Keikyu Line connects to Shinagawa in roughly fifteen minutes. Taxis from either airport are expensive and slow in traffic but are available. Ride-share services are extremely limited in Japan due to regulations. Car rentals are available but driving in Tokyo is not recommended for most visitors. Most travelers arriving at Narita use the N'EX or Skyliner, while Haneda arrivals typically prefer the Keikyu Line or monorail for their speed and convenience."
