        "question": "Which cities in Japan can I fly to from Sapporo?",
        "answer": "From Sapporo you can fly non-stop to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. Tokyo has two main airports, Narita and Haneda, with Haneda closer to the city center. Osaka is served by Kansai and Itami airports. Choose Tokyo for urban culture and connections to the Shinkansen network or Osaka for access to Kyoto and western Japan. Regional flights also link to smaller cities like Sendai or Hiroshima with a stop in Tokyo."

Domestic non-stop flights from Sapporo connect to many cities across Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka, with flight times around 1.5 to 2 hours. Multiple airlines like JAL, ANA and low-cost carriers operate these routes."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Japan?",
        "answer": "Since you are departing from Sapporo, you are already in Japan. For domestic travel, top destinations include Tokyo for its blend of modern and traditional culture, Kyoto for temples and history, Osaka for food and nightlife, and Hiroshima for its peace memorial and nearby Miyajima. These cities are well-connected by Japan's efficient Shinkansen bullet train and domestic flights, making them easy to reach from Sapporo."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Sapporo to Japan?",
        "answer": "Since your flight is entirely within Japan, you do not need a new visa for this domestic leg. U.S. citizens entering Japan for short tourist visits generally do not require a visa for stays up to 90 days, but always verify current entry rules before international travel."
