Miura is a coastal location in Japan that serves as a landing point for two submarine cables. Situated within one of the world's most cable-dense national networks — where 51 submarine cables come ashore across 68 landing points — Miura connects Japan to both intercontinental and domestic submarine cable routes. Its two cables place it within the top 90% of Japanese landing points by cable count, reflecting a meaningful though specialised role in the broader national infrastructure.
The two cables landing at Miura span very different scales. One is a long-haul intercontinental system linking Japan to countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, while the other is a domestic inter-island connection linking the Japanese mainland to outlying island territory. Together they give Miura a dual character: a node on one of the early major international cable corridors and an anchor for domestic island connectivity.
FLAG Europe-Asia (FEA) is a 28,000 km submarine cable system that entered service in 1997. It connects Japan to China, India, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt, forming a corridor that spans East Asia, South Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Red Sea gateway toward Europe. As one of the longest cable systems landing at Miura, FEA represents the intercontinental dimension of this landing point.
Hachijojima-Mainland is a domestic submarine cable that entered service in 2008, linking the Japanese mainland to island territory within Japan. Its endpoints are entirely within Japan, making it an inter-island system. This cable provides a direct submarine connection between Miura and the broader Japanese island network, complementing the international reach of the FEA system.
Among Japanese landing points, Miura is a modest node compared to the largest hubs in the country. Shima leads with 12 cables, followed by Maruyama with 9 and Chikura with 8, while Hachijo, Minamiboso, and Naha each host 4 cables — the same count as Miura. Miura shares its tier with several other landing points, reflecting a pattern in Japan where submarine cable capacity is distributed across numerous coastal sites rather than concentrated at a single gateway.
Miura functions as a two-cable landing point serving distinct corridor types. Through FLAG Europe-Asia, it participates in one of the earliest major intercontinental cable routes connecting East Asia to the Middle East and onward to Europe, with intermediate touchpoints in South and Southeast Asia. Through Hachijojima-Mainland, it anchors a domestic route serving Japanese island communities, extending terrestrial network reach to territories not connected by land.
As a landing point hosting both an intercontinental and a domestic inter-island cable, Miura occupies a specific and defined position in the Japanese submarine cable graph — one that bridges long-distance international connectivity with intra-national island access within a single coastal site.
