Keywords:shallow methane hydrate, ROV, Japan Sea

In the Japan Sea, several outcrops of methane hydrate were discovered through ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) submersible survey. Occurrences of the outcropping methane hydrates and their surrounding topographies are described using submersible videos and still images. This study was conducted as a part of the shallow methane hydrate exploration project of METI.
