  "connection_tips": "Fukushima Airport (FKS) in Sukagawa is uniquely branded as the 'Home of Ultraman,' serving as a tribute to special effects pioneer Eiji Tsuburaya. This theme is woven throughout the three-story terminal, where travelers encounter life-sized statues and memorabilia. The first floor is dedicated to check-in and arrivals, while the second floor houses the departure lobby and 'SHOT M78,' the official Ultraman merchandise store. The third floor features a restaurant area and an expansive observation deck with views of the runway and the surrounding Tohoku landscape. For a premium experience, the 'Lounge f' provides a quiet space for business travelers.\n\nGround transport is primarily handled via limousine buses that connect the terminal to Koriyama Station (40 minutes) and Fukushima Station (60 minutes). Shared taxi vans offer door-to-door service to Aizu-Wakamatsu and Iwaki, but these must be reserved at least one day in advance. Rental car counters for major Japanese agencies are conveniently located on the first floor, which is the best option for exploring the Bandai-Asahi National Park. The airport offers over 2,300 free parking spaces, a rare amenity that makes it popular for local residents.\n\nFor commercial connections, ANA and IBEX Airlines provide frequent domestic flights to Osaka (Itami) and Sapporo (New Chitose), while Tigerair Taiwan often operates international charters to Taipei. Security processing is typically very fast, often taking under 20 minutes, allowing travelers more time to enjoy the unique pop-culture displays. If you have a long wait, the 'ama terrasse' restaurant on the third floor offers excellent views and local Fukushima specialties. Always keep Japanese Yen on hand for bus fares, as some regional transport operators do not accept international credit cards.",
