The shortest direct route (as by flying) is 6757 miles (10,875 km).From Japan it goes NE staying near the east coast, and crosses Alaska in two places: at the north end of the Aleutian Islands about ten miles south of the mainland, and the southernmost leg very near Ketchikan.The path is nearly NW-SE, and crosses back into the U.S. between Great Falls, Montana and Lethbridge, Alberta. It crosses Wyoming, NE Colorado, western Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
If you are asking about air travel, there are no non-stop or direct flights from Mississippi to anywhere in Japan so you have to change planes somewhere. For example, you can fly from Jackson (JAN) to Atlanta (ATL), change planes, and fly non-stop from Atlanta to Tokyo (NRT). The trip takes about 17 1/2 hours, counting the time between flights in Atlanta.www.delta.com
