time-consuming route.

You will cross the International Date Line when flying from Tokyo to Los Angeles. This means you will lose a day and arrive in Los Angeles on the same day you departed Tokyo.

If you choose to fly from Hawaii eastward to Okinawa, you never cross the International Dateline, so you've cleverly eliminated the whole problem.
When you cross the International Date Line, you move from one day to the next. This imaginary line on the Earth's surface marks the change in calendar days.
