Return flights are similar in duration." }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from to Tokyo?", "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Kochi (KCZ) to Tokyo (TYO). Three airlines serve the route non‑stop: JAL (JL) operates 84 weekly flights to Haneda (HND), ANA (NH) runs 70 weekly to Haneda, and Spring Airlines Japan (GK) flies 14 weekly to Narita (NRT) — all daily.

Since the route is entirely within Japan, visa considerations are irrelevant." }, "q9": { "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from to Tokyo?", "answer": "On‑time performance is generally good, but afternoon flights can face minor delays due to air traffic.

Haneda, just 15 km south of central Tokyo, offers domestic flights and an increasing number of international routes, favored for its proximity and convenience for business and short-haul trips." }, "q13": { "question": "How do I get to from the city center?", "answer": "Kochi Ryoma Airport (KCZ) is served by frequent limousine buses from Kochi Station and the Harimayabashi area, taking about 35–40 minutes and offering a reliable mid-range option. Taxis and ride‑share are available door‑to‑door and are the fastest, though more expensive.
