Indoor Beach

Is this real???....

This is for all of you who love the beach . . .
Here's another nice piece of engineering and construction.This time the locale is JAPAN.

Here's the exterior shot of the building. Note the surrounding area . . ..mountains, sea shore, golf course, residential area.

What do you think is inside this building?

Imagine a beach where the sky is always blue, it's never too hot or cold, the water isn't filled with salt and pollution, and the surf is always perfect - welcome to Ocean Dome, the world's only indoor beach.

Ocean Dome has its own flame-spitting volcano, crushed white marble "sand", and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof, providing a permanently blue sky. Temperature, wind and humidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe "sea-side" experience.

Every hour, the volcano erupts and the hi-tech wave machines start up, starting a few minutes of sanitized surfing.
