        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Oita?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Oita (OIT) typically takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

JAL and ANA offer the fastest nonstop service."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Tokyo to Oita?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Oita?",
        "answer": "Oita Airport (OIT) is located about thirty kilometers from Oita City, with several ground transportation options available. The most common and efficient way to reach the city center is by airport limousine bus, which takes roughly fifty-five minutes to Oita Station. There is no direct train service from the airport, so travelers must take a bus or taxi to a nearby train station like Kitsuki or Beppu to connect to the JR Nippo Main Line. Taxis are readily available but expensive for the long ride, costing around ten thousand yen and taking about forty minutes. Ride-share services are not widely used in Japan, and car rentals are available at the airport for those planning to explore the surrounding region. The airport bus is the most used option due to its convenience, reasonable fare, and direct connection to the city center."
