        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Tokushima (TKS) takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. Most flights are direct, with no common layovers, and the return leg is roughly the same duration. Airlines like JAL and ANA operate this route with similar flight times."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Tokyo to Tokushima?",

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.",

There is no direct train service from the airport, but a local bus can connect to the JR line at Tokushima Station for onward travel.
