Based upon the ISS's orbit on April 28- which should closely correspond in average altitude / orbital period to the orbit on June 8- I believe that there will be relatively little (~6 km, in the area of northern Italy) change in the current transit prediction between now and June 8. This means that the track should pass thru southern Europe at around 10:00 UTC (elevation ~63°), and thru Greece on the orbit before that, at about 8:33 UTC (elevation ~60°). It should pass near Sapporo, Japan at around 7:18 UTC (elevation ~27°), and Osaka at around 8:53 UTC (elevation ~13°).
