Japan is a big place, and the Prime Meridian is a very long line.
-- Sapporo, on the island of Hokkaido, is 141.3 degrees east of the Prime Meridian.
If you travel straight west, the meridian is 6,020 miles (9,693 km) away. But if you
travel to the closest point on the Prime Meridian, it's only 3,240 miles (5,214 km).
-- Nagasaki, on the island of Honshu, is 129.8 degrees east of the Prime Meridian.
If you travel straight west, the meridian is 6,860 miles (11,040 km) away. But if you
travel to the closest point on the Prime Meridian, it's only 3,960 miles (6,373 km).
The point on the Prime Meridian that's closest to both cities is . . . the North Pole.

Is Japan east of the Prime Meridian?
Starting on the Prime Meridian, you can reach Japan by going either east or west, whichever you're more comfortable with. Since the earth is a sphere, you'll get there either way. If your time is limited, though, you're better off going east, since Japan ranges between roughly 130° to 150° east longitude. Also note: From anywhere on the Prime Meridian, the exact direction for the shortest route to Japan depends on the exact starting point. From the north end of the Prime Meridian, you must go due south to reach Japan, and from the south end of it, you must head due north.
