I could not find a good material for that.
This is a map and statistics of public schools in
Chigasaki. The pink borders indicate every elementary school's area, blues do junior high-school's. The table under the map shows (from left to right in each row) the average time, the longest time, the average distance and the longest distance for children to commute to the school. The last row tells that the average time and distance for all children are
15.2 minutes and 0.78 km respectively.
Note that Chigasaki is not so urban, but not so rural -- a typical satellite city of Yokohama and Kawasaki. I cannot judge if the numbers above can be applied to the whole country. If it comes to the case of less dense areas outside
Keihin megalopolis, I believe the numbers surely increase much more.
