No visa or vaccination certificate is required for travel within Japan." }, "q12": { "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?", "answer": "Narita handles most international flights and is about 60 km east of central Tokyo. Haneda is much closer to downtown, ideal for domestic flights and increasingly international services, offering quicker access to the city. Ibaraki is a minor option for low-cost carriers but is far from central Tokyo." }, "q13": { "question": "How do I get to Kita Kyushu from the city center?", "answer": "From central Kitakyushu, the most popular and economical way to reach the offshore airport is by direct airport bus, which departs frequently from Kokura Station and other key stops, taking roughly 30–40 minutes. Taxis offer a faster, door-to-door ride but at a significantly higher cost. Ride-share services are not widely available, and driving yourself means crossing the toll bridge to the artificial island and paying for parking, though lots are available. The airport bus is generally the best balance of speed and value for most travelers.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitakyushu_Airport", "title": "Kitakyushu Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-15T06:49:11Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile&title=Transport_in_Fukuoka-Kitakyushu", "title": "Transport in Fukuoka-Kitakyushu", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2010-01-20T22:04:35Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitakyushu", "title": "Kitakyushu", "time_published": "2026-06-06T11:44:39Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport%20in%20Fukuoka-Kitakyushu", "title": "Transport in Fukuoka-Kitakyushu", "time_published": "2026-03-14T05:26:33Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitakyushu%20Airport", "title": "Kitakyushu Airport", "time_published": "2026-02-26T21:59:48Z" } ] }, "q14": { "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Tokyo airport?", "answer": "Tokyo Narita Airport has a 24-hour capsule hotel called nine hours Narita Airport located at Terminal 2 in Cary Park, with no shuttle needed.
