A peaceful country's media seems to be obliged to create a 'big' news recently.
News tells "A black unknown boat has been captured by a remote camera offshore Niigata City in the Sea of Japan yesterday." and follows "JMSDF confirms it is theirs for the recruit promotion in Niigata."


謎の“黒い船”…新潟沖に「潜水艦」　一体何が？

　13日午前10時すぎ、新潟市内に設置された情報カメラが新潟市沖合で潜水艦らしきものの姿を捉えました。 　船体の上半分ほどが見えた状態で、停泊しているのか動きは確認されませんでした。 　自衛隊新潟地方協力本部に問い合わせたところ、海上自衛隊の潜水艦で、訓練中に新潟市の沖合に浮上。 　自衛隊の入隊希望者に内部を見学してもらうために寄港したということです。 　しばらくの間停泊しますが、いつ新潟沖を離れるかは明らかにできないということです。

Meanwhile, few tourists in Tottori Prefecture in spite of locals' effort.
