        "question": "Which cities in Japan can I fly to from Iwakuni?",
        "answer": "From Iwakuni you can fly non-stop to Tokyo Haneda and Naha in Okinawa. One-stop connections via Tokyo or Osaka open up Sapporo, Fukuoka, Nagoya and other Japanese cities. Travelers choose based on interests, such as Tokyo for urban culture, Naha for tropical beaches, or Sapporo for skiing."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Iwakuni to Japan?",
        "answer": "Iwakuni is already in Japan, so there is no international flight from Iwakuni to Japan. For domestic travel, you can fly non-stop to Tokyo Haneda in about 1 hour 20 minutes, or to Naha (Okinawa) in roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. One-stop routes to other major cities like Sapporo or Fukuoka are uncommon because direct or train connections are more practical."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Iwakuni to Japan?",
        "answer": "Iwakuni is already in Japan, so the destination country is the same as the origin. The airport code IWK is Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport, a joint civilian and military facility. From Iwakuni you can fly non-stop to Tokyo Haneda with ANA, and to Naha with ANA. Flight time to Tokyo is about 1 hour 30 minutes."

      "q3": {

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Japan?",
        "answer": "Tokyo is the main gateway with endless culture and food. Kyoto offers temples and tradition. Osaka is known for street food and nightlife. Hiroshima combines history and peace sites. All are linked by fast bullet trains."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Japan?",
        "answer": "Spring (late March to early April) is peak cherry blossom season and very busy, so book early. Autumn (late October to November) offers pleasant weather and fall colors with slightly fewer crowds. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter is cold but good for skiing."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kintaiko Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The airport serving Iwakuni is Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni (IWK), which hosts the civilian Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport terminal about 1.5 miles southeast of Iwakuni Station. From the city center, the most practical options are a short taxi ride or a local bus connection via Iwakuni Station; the station is the main rail hub and sits very close to the airfield, making the train plus a taxi or bus the most popular combination. Ride-share services are not generally available in this area, and public buses from downtown to the terminal are limited, so taxis are usually the fastest and most convenient choice. Parking at the civilian terminal is available for those driving, though the base is primarily a military installation with restricted access. Taxis are the most popular and quickest option, while the bus/train combination is the most economical.",
