Ora Attuale a Iwakura, Giappone — JST.

The Iwakura Mission or Iwakura Embassy was a Japanese diplomatic voyage to Europe and the United States conducted between 1871 and 1873 by leading statesmen and scholars of the Meiji period. It was not the only such mission, but it is the most well-known and possibly most significant in terms of its impact on the modernization of Japan after a long period of isolation from the West. The mission was first proposed by the influential Dutch missionary and engineer Guido Verbeck, based to some degree on the model of the Grand Embassy of Peter I.

Reading Iwakura against the global hubs: Tokyo (~256 km), Singapore (~5,088 km), Dubai (~7,703 km) are the close ones, with São Paulo (~18,667 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
