It's the same mileage as an air segment, regardless if a Star partner serves the city pair or not.
Where more than one mileage amount exists between two city pairs, you take the lower of the two.
Where no fares have ever been filed between a city pair and a mileage amount does not exist, you take the shortest connection you can find that has mileage listed between origin and destination via an en-route intermediate port.

In that instance I think you'll find most GDS systems will calculate the mileage as OSA-TYO, both being generic city codes covering all aiports in each city. 280 miles seems to be the common consensus.
