By which route did you come to Japan?
The expected reply:
-Well, I took a flight from Heathrow Airport, flying over India, and arrived in Nagasaki. The route from the UK over the Atlantic to the US over the Pacific is more troublesome and time-consuming. Is it natural English to ask a question like this to get the above answer?: -By which route did you come to Japan? I wrote the expected reply; is it natural English? |

A bit more natural would be: Which route did you take (to get) to Japan? Here are more ways to ask the question, using more colloquial English: How'd you get to Japan? What route did you take (to get) to Japan? Which way did you take to Japan? Which way did you come to Japan? |

Thank you, Rusty.
I wrote the expected reply; is it natural English? How can I improve it? |

The only change needed in your reply was marked in red. It sounds natural with that change.
The only improvement would be to change 'is more' to 'would be more'. |
