Fascinating fact about Susami Bay's underwater mailbox: it's not just a gimmick, but an operational post box! Divers and snorkelers can actually post waterproof cards here, and they're collected daily. Since its inception, over 32,000 pieces of mail have been sent from this deep-sea location. The mailbox itself needs frequent replacement due to the corrosive saltwater environment. Also, the idea was initially proposed by the then postmaster of Susami, Toshihiko Matsumoto, during a brainstorming session on how to revitalize the town. Such an inventive merge of culture and nature!
