gadling.com — Among others ... "On Japan's southeastern coast, there's a mailbox 33 feet beneath the water -- the deepest mailbox on record. Each day, the contents are collected from the box, which reportedly contains as many as 200 pieces of mail."

Japanese are always the first to enact on these wacky ideas. Remember that rollercoaster/bicycle ride? Haha.

this is not funny...how would u mail an envelope underwater? unless of course you were to put it in a plastic bag....but then the person recieving the mail would have a wet bag to deal with... and how do they get the trucks down to pick up the mail?????

do they have PO Box for rent?

they're mostly tourist traps. With tourism, the rental of scuba gear will more than make up for the post office worker's compressed air.

I guess this post office is where highly confidential letters delivers, especially for spies. Cause who could possibly built a post office under the water if the purpose is the same as the normal post office. Right?

I stayed on Hideaway Island (basically where the mailbox is located) and I can tell you it's a crappy resort.

ummm, there isn't a clerk underwater all the time. It's just a mailbox really, the marketing fuzz behind it is all crap (yes, i've actually been there)They just dive down to collect it at the end of the day.
