Based on where you’re from, which country or region you live in, etc., your sense of distance differs.
Factors such as method of transportation, required time for travel, transportation fee, etc., also affects how far something feels, right?
For instance…
In Japan, we often ask ourselves, how far is this city from the next?
Upon re-examining the distance, we notice “hey, even though it’s pretty far on the map, it doesn’t take much time!” or sometimes, we even think “What? even though it’s this close, it’s this hard to get to…?”
Here, we’ve listed the rough distance between certain region and cities.
We hope you find this useful.
Additionally, Japan is divided into administrative divisions consisting of 47 prefectures.
