        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to ?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Kochi (KCZ) takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. There are no common layover options on this domestic route, as nonstop flights are the standard. Return flights have the same duration. JAL and ANA operate this route with similar flight times."

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in ?",
        "answer": "Kochi Ryoma Airport (KCZ) serves Kochi City in Japan. There is no rail link directly at the airport. The most common way to reach the city center is by the airport limousine bus, which takes about thirty minutes to Kochi Station and is timed to meet flights. Taxis are available but are more expensive, costing around 3,000 to 4,000 yen for the same trip. Ride-share services are limited due to local regulations; traditional taxis are the primary on-demand option. Car rentals are available at the airport and are popular for exploring the wider Shikoku region, though not necessary for city center access. The limousine bus is the most used option for its convenience and reasonable cost."
