      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service from Tokyo Narita (NRT) to Hiroshima (HIJ).

        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "Hiroshima Airport is about 50 kilometers east of the city. The most popular option is the limousine bus, which takes around 45 to 50 minutes to reach Hiroshima Station and the bus center, costing about 1,450 yen. Taxis are available but are expensive for the distance, while ride-share services are limited in Japan. There is no direct train to the airport; the nearest rail station is Shiraichi on the Sanyo Line, requiring a bus or taxi transfer, making it less convenient. Car rentals are available at the airport and can be useful for exploring the region. The limousine bus is the most used option due to its direct service and reasonable cost."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "No overnight (red-eye) flights are available from Tokyo Narita (NRT) to Hiroshima (HIJ) — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itineraries with a red-eye long leg were found in the schedule data.",
