How far is 200km from Fuchu City, Tokyo?
In order to try and get as much food as I can from with 200km of Tokyo, I need to know how far 200km from my house is. One unfortunately thing about living in Tokyo is that about half of the 200km is water. I will have to wait and see how well the tracking for where fish is caught is, but I doubt it is going to be very useful.
I have plotted out how the area covered on the map below (click on it get a larger image). It covers all of Tokyo, Chiba, Ibaragi, Yamanashi, Kanagawa, Gunma and Tochigi prefectures. 95% of Nagano and Shizuoka Prefectures (this is close enough that I will probably allow anything from these 2 prefecturs to count as within 200km), half of Fukushima prefecture and about a third of Niigata prefecture.
This basically sets out from where I can buy things, here in Japan a lot of items (especially veggies) are labelled by what prefecture they are from, so this should be a good start.

Hey Brendan!
Are you figuring all that out during work or what? Lucky guy!
See ya,
