World's only indoor beach!

This is the world's first (till now the only!) indoor beach at Miyazaki, Kyushu. Its called the Ocean dome. Ocean dome has its own flame-spitting volcano,crushed white marble "sand"and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof ,providing a permanantly blue sky! Temperature,wind andhumidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe "sea-side"experience. Every hour,the volcano erupts and the the hi-tech wave machines start up,starting a few minutes of sanitised surfing.Entrance costs US$50,which can seem expensive especially when there is a free,natural beach just 300 mts away!!
