        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "The flight from Tokyo to Hiroshima is about 400 miles, with a typical nonstop duration of 1 hour 25 minutes on both Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways. Return flights also take about 1 hour 25 minutes, so direction makes no meaningful difference on this short route.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "The most-used way into Hiroshima from HIJ is the airport limousine bus, which reaches the downtown Hiroshima Bus Terminal in about 53 minutes and Hiroshima Station in about 45 minutes, though traffic can add delays. Taxis are available but pricey for the 50 km trip, and there is no rail link at the airport itself—the closest station is Shiraichi on the San'yō Main Line, requiring a bus transfer. Ride-share services are not a standard option at HIJ, and car rentals exist but are less practical for most visitors. The limousine bus is the fastest and most reliable public option, with direct service also to Shiraichi, Fukuyama, Kure, and Mihara stations.",

Japan Airlines offers up to 140 weekly flights with a median fare around $1,642, while ANA runs about 98 weekly flights. Both carriers fly daily with frequent departures throughout the day, giving travelers plenty of choice.",

These offer short, efficient transfers with frequent flights, keeping total travel time competitive. Visa‑free transit is irrelevant for domestic travel."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "Hiroshima Airport is the only commercial airport serving the city, located about 50 minutes east of downtown by bus. It handles domestic flights and limited international services, with connections to major Japanese cities."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Haneda Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Reaching Tokyo Haneda Airport from the city center is easiest by rail, with the Keikyu Line and Tokyo Monorail both offering fast, frequent service that is generally the fastest and most popular option. Airport shuttle buses connect Haneda to major hubs across Tokyo and surrounding prefectures, providing a convenient but usually slower alternative. Ride-share services are limited in Japan, so taxis are the primary private vehicle option and are the most expensive, while driving yourself is possible with on-site parking but can be costly and congested during peak times.",
