Yusaku Maezawa, a businessman who stayed at the International Space Station for the first time as a Japanese civilian last year, said at a press conference after returning to Japan that "the Mariana Trench is next to space."
Thanks to that, Mariana has been a hot topic since then. Located in the Philippine Sea on the west side of the 14 Northern Mariana Islands, the Mariana Trench is the deepest trench in the world. So far, countries around the world have taken on the challenge of the deepest part of the globe. Water pressure beyond imagination in the darkness where sunlight does not reach. What kind of place is there? Is there a future in which general tourists can easily visit the unknown world of Deep Sea World? I'm excited. The Tourism Bureau is also paying close attention to Mr. Maezawa's future mission efforts.
