    Cool Japan's Indoor Man-Made Beach...

    Link to pictures.

    Funny thing is, there's a real beach like two blocks away...

    I saw this on TV a while ago. It was about some instructor teaching surfing lessons there. Pretty neat.

    I saw it on T.V a long time ago. The sand is supposed to be engineered to not stick to you. Now that's technology!

    Does that mean that the sand also doesnt stick to itself? Because if you can't make sandcastles...

    its just a giant wave pool, thats all. they just made it look more like a beach then a pool. I thought it would have been bigger, but i guess thats alot of space and money being wasted.

    I remember seeing a special on when they were making that, it looked pretty awesome. I think one of the reasons they have it is so people can swim and surf and what not without worrying about the possible dangers of open water swimming, some of which are sharks, jellyfish, stingrays. None of those are present in a enclosed environment such as that. People enjoy the shroud of security something like that offers, not to mention rainy day outside? Sunny day inside, surf is up 24/7, surfers paradise!

    Well, Japan is even supposed to be one of the more expensive places, so the high entrance fee makes sense. And it also makes sense if you think about how much a bigass building like that costs to build and maintain (just maintaining it probably costs as much as running a small town). But no doubt they made sure they would get enough paying customers in, before they started the project. The Japanese are shrewd business people, after all.

    they sure like to waste money...
    lol..
    Entrance costs US$50, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 metres away.
    those stupid people..

    It's cool but it's just a big indoor water park... The coolest thing IMO is the ceiling that can look like the sky. Thats just fuggin awesome.

    Thats pretty neat. Price is kinda steep but you get what you pay for most likely.

    Yeah well, what if they don't like salt water? An indoor beach is pretty cool.
