the way to avoid an overnight in nrt is to not fly there.  same for
about 1,000 other airports enroute hiroshima.  you did the equivalent of
flying to jfk to get to chicago.

kansei is the major international airport that serves hiroshima.
despite living in tokyo, i flew from doing biz in the states to kansei
and then the easy train and then the free streetcar to the venue.  was
easy.
