: Our research interest for the last 3 years has been understanding the process of development of massive gas hydrates. We aimed to elucidate the internal structure of the gas hydrates. This study, including the sampling process, was conducted under the commission from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) as part of the methane hydrate research project funded by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan (METI). This study was based on the occasional findings obtained during computer tomography of gas hydrates, which differed from the interest of the project. Therefore, we obtained permission for publication from the METI.
