        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights from Hiroshima (HIJ) to Tokyo Narita (NRT) typically take about 1 hour and 20 minutes, though they are limited in frequency. More commonly, travelers fly from Hiroshima to Tokyo Haneda (HND), with nonstop flights taking around 1 hour and 15 to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Return flights from Tokyo to Hiroshima have similar durations."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "There are no direct (non‑stop) flights from Hiroshima (HIJ) to Tokyo Narita (NRT). The most common one‑stop routing is with Japan Airlines via Sapporo (CTS), taking about 5 hours total — roughly a 2‑hour flight to Sapporo, an 80‑minute layover, and a 95‑minute hop down to Narita. For a non‑stop Tokyo flight from Hiroshima, you'd want Haneda (HND) instead, which does have daily non‑stop service.",

        "answer": "From Narita Airport, the fastest and most popular option is the Narita Express (N'EX) train, reaching Tokyo Station in about 55–60 minutes with reserved seating and frequent service. A competing limited express is the Keisei Skyliner, which offers a slightly different route into the city. Buses and taxis are also available, though taxis are expensive for the 60+ km distance, and rental cars are an option but less practical for central Tokyo. Most travelers rely on the N'EX or Skyliner for speed and convenience.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Narita handles most international flights, while Haneda is closer to central Tokyo and better for domestic and late‑night services. Narita is about 60 minutes from the city centre, Haneda around 30 minutes."

        "question": "How do I get to Hiroshima Intl from the city center?",

Taxis offer a direct, door-to-door ride but are significantly more expensive. There is no direct train service to the airport; driving yourself is possible with paid parking available at the terminal, though the bus remains the most convenient and cost-effective choice for most travelers.",
