Flying the EMB-110 from RJFU to RJTT and getting my flight time shortened significantly because of the tailwind. Lot of turbulence and the planes bouncing around a little but I’ll take it for knocking some flight time off. Have seen as high as 317kts. gs so far during this flight.

yep, just did a FBW A320 from RJBE to RJTT and saw tailwinds of over 100mph.

Yeah, Japan has a lot of high-speed west to east wind at high altitude.
So flying from Kobe to Tokyo would make you piggyback on this easbound wind, giving you tailwind and carry you there faster, saving fuel and saving time.
If you fly the other way, though… wew…
