Tokashiki is a village situated in the Kerama Islands of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. As an island community, its connectivity to the broader telecommunications network depends on submarine cable infrastructure. One submarine cable lands at Tokashiki, linking it to Japan's domestic cable network and providing the island with a dedicated undersea communications link.
The single cable serving Tokashiki is the Okinawa Remote Islands system, a domestic Japanese cable that connects various remote island communities within Okinawa Prefecture. This landing point facilitates intra-national, inter-island connectivity rather than intercontinental or transoceanic communications, reflecting Tokashiki's role as a smaller island endpoint within Japan's distributed submarine cable geography.
The Okinawa Remote Islands cable is the sole submarine cable landing at Tokashiki. Spanning 915 km in total length, this system reached ready-for-service (RFS) status in 2017 and operates exclusively between landing points within Japan. As its name indicates, the cable is designed to serve remote island communities in the Okinawa region, and Tokashiki represents one of its designated endpoints. With all connected landing points located within Japan, the Okinawa Remote Islands cable functions as a domestic inter-island link rather than an international system.
Within Japan's submarine cable landscape, Tokashiki hosts a single cable, placing it among the more modestly served of Japan's 68 landing points. By comparison, other landing points in the country host considerably more cables: Shima serves 12 cables, Maruyama 9, Chikura 8, and Naha — located in the same Okinawa Prefecture — serves 4 cables. Naha, in particular, offers a point of reference as a nearby, more heavily connected landing point within the same regional prefecture.
Tokashiki functions as a single-cable terminus within Japan's domestic submarine cable network. Its connection via the Okinawa Remote Islands cable provides the island community with a dedicated undersea link to other parts of Okinawa Prefecture and Japan, enabling telecommunications access that would otherwise be unavailable to an isolated island settlement. The cable's relatively modest total length of 915 km is consistent with an inter-island, domestic routing pattern across the Okinawa island chain.
As a single-endpoint landing point, Tokashiki does not serve as a transit hub or multi-cable junction. Within Japan's broader submarine cable graph — which encompasses 51 cables across 68 landing points — Tokashiki represents the type of last-mile island terminus that ensures geographically remote communities remain connected to the national network through dedicated undersea infrastructure.
