Beach lovers...Here is another piece of engineering and construction in Japan.
Exterior shot of the building..Notice the surrounding area: trees, mountains, sea shore.
What do you think is inside this building?

What do you think is inside this building?
It's the OCEANDOME.
The roof is retractable.
The surf is up. Rain or shine?
When the roof is closed, you still get blue and puffy sky.
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.
Entrance cost is US $50 per person, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 meters away.
