I'm in a city in southern Japan (so most of my traffic needs to go to Tokyo first), on a gigabit fiber connection.

    --- 1.1.1.1 ping statistics ---
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 30.507/32.155/36.020/1.419 ms

    --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 19.618/21.572/23.009/0.991 ms
The traceroutes are inconclusive but they kind of look like Google has a POP in Fukuoka and CloudFlare are only in Tokyo.

edit: Namebench was broken for me, but running GRC's DNS Benchmark my ISP's own resolver is the fastest, then comes Google 8.8.8.8, then Level3 4.2.2.[123], then OpenDNS, then NTT, and then finally 1.1.1.1.
