Japan adores to be ahead of the whole world, its people will never get tired of these constant creations and inventions. The Japanese are always making something new, something really interesting and completely addictive. What do you think about world’s biggest artificial indoor sea beach, that was created in the southern Japan? Cool? Why not?
This time, the Japanese-inventors tossed a challenge to our Mother Nature. Actually, their cool beach is just a huge Ocean Dome (approximately 6 football pitches, it can house 10,000 tourists), that allows everybody to lie on the artificial beach, among artificial palm-trees and enjoy the sound of artificial tide. The real beach is only 300 meters away and it looks really lonely, since if failed to win in this extremely stiff competition.
Ocean Dome is situated on Japan’s southernmost Kyushu Island, 1,500 kilometers south of Tokyo. It has a 85-metre long shoreline and many many shops. There are a lot of attractions on this beach:
- the weather is always great, sunny and warm;
- lush green tropical forests without rainfalls and humidity but with parrots songs;
- nice, white beach with crushed marble pebbles without any bugs and sun burns;
- chlorinated salt-free water;
- every 15 minutes the volcano becomes active and every hour it produces fire;
- incredible waves for surfers;
The fee is rather expensive – more than $50 for adults, plus various entertainments. Many visitors are pleased with such a beach, they considered it to be clean, modern and safe.
Artificial beaches gain popularity in the whole world. We can see them in Monaco, Hong Kong, Paris etc.


Looks far to artificial for me – more like Disney than a beautiful beach. Different strokes for different folks though…
Another weird story about a spa in China worth looking at:

Like I said, different strokes…..
Yeah, the same with me! I prefer a real beach and real nature, but it seemed to be very popular among other people and they may huge sums in order to stay there. Tastes differ!
I think it looks like a beautifull beach! I know what you mean, I love propper beaches but this one looks really ncie also!
Amazing,
i salute the japnies peoples,
what abeach really soooooooooooooooooo NICE
Sorry, it just don`t look real, on top of thet it is far too small to look like the real thing.
this is truman show! same!lol
Why oh why did they build near a REAL beach? I could understand if it was several hundred miles inland…
Do they have artificial sea glass scattered about?
Keep on keepin’ on
Yes, its real…

This looks great to me. Can anyone give me point of contact or e-mailing address who made this. So that I can ask how to make?
the truman show!
i think it’s absolutely amazing… i’m coming to japan in october… cant wait!!!
It seems the only amazing and appealing to attract anybody from anywhere.
I have always been fascinated by the beauty of this beach, not to mention the technical flair behind it. Please consider investing and opening such a facility in our country where we have a number of big areas with a vast number of people who have to travel for hours to and from the beach once a month, some once in every two months.
I share the same opinion as that of Lalit Gurung on the 5th of May 2009.
its gud not gud amazing i am coming japan i cant wait

simeply fabulous, you can enjoy the beachside experience without being worried of a Tsunami.

Why pay $50 for an artificial substitute, when you can enjoy for free the natural and original physical environment? And nothing beats that?
I would only see it as a “theme park” to have fun, for a one-time visit just for the experience!
On the other hand, the only way I can see this useful, is for places who are far away from the sea
i agree with you to an extend but..
How would that work on a real beach on a cold rainy day?
Well. if the weather allows, the real beach is nice, of course. But, since its not always the case.
I guess its nice to be able to have a day off and a guarenty sunny Beach to go to.
