OceanDome – Artificial Beach in Japan
Japan 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?
It’s the OCEANDOME
The roof is retractable
The SURF’S UP . . .rain or shine!
When the roof is closed, you still get blue sky and puffy white clouds .. . .
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.

The Rite (2011)
When Anthony Hopkins signs on to play a sinister old exorcist in a generic satanic rehash like The Rite, does he hate himself for getting hired, yet again, to trot out Hannibal Lecter's ravenous snarl and hypnotist's gleam? Does he stalk around between takes muttering things like ''I should be doing Lear''? Or is he only too happy to milk that Lecter leer? The Rite is set in Rome, and it presents the Vatican as having officially embraced the rituals of exorcism as a de facto enhancement of its brand. (If the devil is at large, then the church must still be relevant.)
Hopkins becomes the tutor of a young priest (Colin O'Donoghue) too skeptical to believe the gnashings and writhings of the ''possessed'' are anything but psychological symptoms. The trouble is, the film seems to think that this amounts to a serious crisis of faith. The hero is a cipher; who cares if he's saved from his skepticism? When he and Hopkins team up to expunge a demon from a pregnant Italian teenager, there's no shock in her tongue flickerings and Latinate rantings. ''Were you expecting swiveled heads and pea soup?'' asks Hopkins. Maybe not, but we were expecting something we hadn't seen a dozen times in the recent cycle of exorcist thrillers. The Rite commits the supreme sin of making the devil dull. D
