Busan is only about 130 miles from Fukuoka, but South Korea is listed as being 585.4 miles from Japan. What distance is being measured?

Something appears to be inconsistent. Not sure how USA can qualify and not some others. It would help to indicate whether the distance is between capital cities or something else.
