        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Iwakuni to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Iwakuni (IWK) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. There are no common layover flights on this domestic route, and the return flight duration is essentially the same. All Nippon Airways operates this route with consistent flight times."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Iwakuni to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, ANA flies nonstop from Iwakuni (IWK) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) with 56 weekly flights — that's eight daily departures, every day of the week. Departure times are spread across the day from early morning (around 7:35 AM) through evening (around 7:35 PM).",
        "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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Iwakuni to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic flight within Japan, so no visa is required for the flight itself. All travelers, regardless of nationality, must comply with Japan's immigration laws for their overall stay. If you are a foreign national already legally in Japan, you do not need an additional visa to travel domestically. If you are not yet in Japan, you must meet Japan's entry requirements based on your nationality, which may include obtaining a visa before arrival."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) is located just 15 km south of central Tokyo, making ground transportation fast and convenient. The most popular and efficient option is the train, with both the Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu Line connecting to major stations like Hamamatsuchō and Shinagawa in under 20 minutes. Limousine buses and taxis are also readily available, while ride‑sharing is limited and car rentals are generally unnecessary for city access. The train is the most‑used mode thanks to its speed, frequency, and affordability.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",

        "question": "How do I get to Kintaiko Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Reaching Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport (IWK) from central Iwakuni is easiest via the frequent city bus service that runs from Iwakuni Station to the terminal entrance in roughly 20–25 minutes. Taxis are readily available and offer a faster, door‑to‑door option, while ride‑share services are not widely used in the area. Driving is possible with short‑term parking near the terminal, but public buses remain the most popular choice for their balance of cost and convenience.",
