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.
