Since the earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can reach anywhere you want

to go from where you are by starting out in either one of a pair of opposite directions.

Starting from any longitude on earth, you can go east or you can go west, and reach

Japan.

Starting from any point on the International Date Line, your trip to Japan will be quite a bit

shorter if you start out going West.
