The ambitious idea of \u200b\u200bthe Japanese to create an ocean beach under the dome was realized in 1993 at south island Kyushu. It is located one and a half thousand kilometers from Tokyo. Only three hundred meters separates the boundaries of the world's largest water park Ocean Dome from the real beach and ocean. Everyone who has been inside claims that the artificial ocean makes a greater impression. The man-made beach has amazing weather: the air temperature is 30 ° C, the water is always 28 ° C. With a comfortable microclimate, annoying insects or squally gusts of wind are excluded here, but there are wonderful waves for surfers. Perfectly adjusted lighting will prevent heatstroke or sunburn.
The parameters of a Japanese water park entered in the Guinness Book of 300m in length x 100m in width: by area it is identical to six football fields... AT good weather visitors can enjoy the natural sun - the dome of the giant pavilion opens. 10 thousand people can find entertainment to their liking at the same time. Beach sand does not stick to the body. It was created using a special technology and is a mixture of crushed marble and white sand.
The sea, palm trees, always blue skies, endless views of the tropical ocean - this is for lovers beach holiday... The small tropical forest is inhabited by noisy parrots. Two volcanoes strictly on schedule arrange scenic eruptions every hour. Water slides, wave cascades, fresh water pools, jacuzzis and spa are available to the guests. The local attractions were created according to exclusive individual projects and have no analogues. Cafes, restaurants, cinemas are at the disposal of those tired of beach holidays.
Every day there are nightly entertainment: festivals, musical performances, light shows using a water screen. There are many hotels, a zoo, golf courses and a tennis court nearby. Despite the grandeur of the plan, the project was suspended due to low profitability. The water park has been under reconstruction for the last seven years. The owners - the owners of the Sheraton hotel chain - promise its opening soon.
How to get there:
The Shigaya Resort, where the water park is located, is located in Miyazaki Prefecture. To get to the resort, you first need to fly to Tokyo. Airlines such as JAL, ANA and Skynet Asia Airways fly from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Miyazaki. From the airport to the city of Miyazaki itself can be reached by train on the Miyazaki Kuko Line (travel time 10 minutes) or by shuttle bus (travel time 25 minutes).
You can also get from Tokyo to Miyazaki by train, but several changes are required.

This is almost 6 football fields!
Most large water park is located in Japan in the city of Miyazaki. It is called "Ocean Dome". Its approximate dimensions are 300 meters by 100 meters. There are almost 6 football fields. It reaches a height of 40 meters.
it real paradise with a bunch of rides and various entertainment. There are water cascades, like waterfalls in the jungle, and artificial waves for surfers, and paddling pools for children, and, of course, a huge number of water slides. By the way, the latter were created specifically for the water park on an individual order. All this is surrounded by tropical plants.
For those who like to relax, there are jacuzzis and spas, and those who have splashed in the water will find restaurants, cinemas, discos and bars.
The park was opened a long time ago: in 1993. In fact, the idea is very ambitious: after all, this is a whole ocean beach under a dome, especially since the ocean itself is three hundred meters away. But visitors to the water park have always said that the artificial ocean is a great experience. It is constantly warm here: +30 degrees in the room. And water is like fresh milk: it is always kept at the same level - +28 degrees.
The advantages of relaxing in the Ocean Dome are quite understandable: no annoying insects, no gusty winds that can blow your hat away from the sun, and even less heatstroke and sunburn.
10 thousand people can rest in the Ocean Dome at the same time. The cost of visiting is low: about $ 50.
The water park is indoor, as you might guess from the name itself. But on hot days, the dome opens, so vacationers can sunbathe in the sun, lying on the sand.
By the way, the sand in this area is "special": it is a small marble crumb that does not stick to the body.
The "forests" of the park also have their own inhabitants: the "tropics" are inhabited by noisy parrots. There are also two volcanoes on the territory, which emit lava every hour.
However, the saddest thing is that the water park cannot be visited now: it does not work due to low profitability. For all its scale, the Ocean Dome brought losses: in 2000, its debt was $ 2.5 billion. It was sold during the economic crisis in 2002. The dome was later reopened, but in difficult times for the country, interest in the water park has noticeably faded.
It did not work for long: in 2007, the park was closed for reconstruction, which is still ongoing.
"Water Fun" in the Bahamas
In second place is the Aquaventure Park or Water Fun on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. It is part of a whole entertainment complex called "Atlantic Paradise Island". This place is very popular: many videos and films were filmed here.
The water park is dedicated to one common theme - Atlantis and the Mayan tribe. There is even a "Mayan Temple" - these are water slides that lead to the bay with sharks.
Naturally, everything is safe: guests drive into the reservoir through glass pipes, no one literally swims with sharks.
There is also a great opportunity here to make the dream of many come true: to swim with dolphins. And if you rent a room near the water park, then the entrance to it will be free.
3rd place and German "Tropical Island"
The Tropical Islands is located near Berlin, in the small town of Krausnik. It is located on the site of the old airport, so it is quite easy to imagine its scale.
A huge swimming pool that imitates the sea, a children's area, cascades of waterfalls and a beach are all at the service of visitors.
It also works around the clock, and here you can spend the night in a real hut and feel like a native of a desert island. There is also observation decklocated at an altitude of 60 meters: a beautiful view of the Tropical Islands opens up from here.
How would you spend your vacation? Especially when there is slush outside the window and cloudy cold weather outside ... At such moments, I especially want to move to warm beaches, gentle sun and blue sky with crystal water. After all, everyone loves to have a good rest and relax.
The Japanese, as always, are ahead of the whole planet, not only in terms of sunrises, but also in technological achievements that are born there every day. This time, they have developed a unique recreation complex with a private beach and all the pleasures that come with it.
The Ocean Dome project is almost real sun, real sea, warm sand, and of course a holiday that lasts all year round, 365 days a year. This is the best alternative to sandy beaches and warm sun for many hardworking Japanese people. There is no bad weather, various insects and infection that can be picked up anywhere on the islands, so the beach is almost an ideal place to relax. This miracle is located on the Kyushu Island. The complex consists of 13,500 tons of artificial fresh ocean, where artificial waves can reach about 3 meters. And the artificial volcano, which "wakes up" every 15 minutes, amazes almost all vacationers. Naturally, it took huge days to open such a complex, which only billionaires have.
The height of the water park dome is 38 m. Water enters the pool from the Pacific Ocean, but before that it goes through several stages of purification. Swimming in a water park is much safer than in natural waters.
An important convenience of the park is sand heating. As for the temperature of the natural beach, it is completely dependent on the whims of the weather, so visiting it often leads to coughing and runny nose. Ocean Dome organizers care about the health of visitors and offer best service... It is good service that is main feature to attract customers, this applies not only to beaches, but also to restaurants and other places.
The pool area is 8 hectares, the depth of the reservoir is 35 meters. Due to the large scale of the pool, sailing competitions can be held there. The Ocean Dome is the only park where sailing competitions are held in an enclosed space. Visitors to the park can ride the ocean waves close to the real ones and sunbathe on the beach.
A small tropical forest with palms, lianas and various flora and fauna, various exotic plants and birds amazes tourists with its richness and beauty. And the special entertainment area Lost World with different demons and pirates will make you shake with horror ...
The complex is designed in this way. that the air temperature on the beach is kept at 30 degrees day and night, the water temperature reaches 28 degrees Celsius.
A special sliding roof is a unique structure that automatically opens when real sunlight appears, letting in fresh air and the sun's rays. it profitable businessbut it is not necessary to open such a large-scale business. Better to pay attention to.
The average cost of staying in such an amazing place for tourists will be about $ 50 for entrance + about $ 10 for drinks and snacks. In the future, it is planned to open additional services on the territory of the complex: they plan to open a tennis court, a golf course, several hotels and various boutiques.
For fans of extreme sports, there are water slides. Relaxation and spa lovers should also visit the hydromassage pools. There are also many cinemas here. In addition, the rich cultural program includes music performances and dance festivals. The organizers turn an ordinary day into a real holiday!
The organizers say that the main advantages of the beach include artificial climate control, as well as a retractable roof, which is extremely necessary in case of rain. Another important advantage: the absence of insects. These creatures often spoil the rest on ordinary beaches. There is no such problem on the Ocean Dome artificial beach. Visitors do not use sunscreens, as the competent use of ultraviolet rays eliminates the risk of burns on the body.
But only around there will be no annoying mosquitoes, burns and sea reptiles. Thanks to modern technology, it has become possible to create such a corner of paradise.
What is paradise? It is daily good weather, a beach with soft white sand and the whisper of sea waves. But for this you have to fly abroad to warm countries. What for? You can go to the nearby water park. This is all good, of course, but still I want to visit a real beach, and people start looking for interesting unique places. One of these is the Ocean Dome water park. Indeed, it is so unusual that it was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
This miracle is located on the island of Kyushu in Japan. It is home to the world's largest resort Sigaya - the favorite place of tourists and local people. It covers an area of \u200b\u200b700 hectares! You can't even imagine how huge it is.
Why does the water park have such a name? The thing is that the beaches of the resort are closed with a unique artificial sky dome. There is a huge ocean under it. The water temperature there always fluctuates around 28 degrees. The ocean dome is rightfully considered the most famous place throughout the resort of Sigaya.
What is he famous for? This is a magnificent structure of this type, gathering 10,000 people at the same time under its roof.
In 2001, the Ocean Dome was on the verge of closing. The owners of the resort have a debt of $ 2.5 billion. And this is despite the fact that the entrance to the water park is quite expensive. In good weather, you will have to pay about a hundred dollars to enter. The fact is that at that time Japan was in a difficult economic situation. The popularity of the resort dwindled sharply, as the Japanese could not spend a lot of money on holidays. There was also a less grandiose water park nearby, which cost several dollars to enter.
For many years, the owner struggled with the crisis, trying to defend his brainchild. Seven years later, he succeeded. The crisis is over, and the water park is still popular.
Currently
Today, the Ocean Dome has become a real paradise. There is absolutely everything for a comfortable stay for the whole family. The water park has the cleanest white sand, which is changed once a week, swimming pools with artificial waves, slides for vacationers of all ages. Also on the territory there are small pools, a spa center and a huge number of water attractions... If you get tired of swimming, you can visit a cafe and even go to the cinema.
Tourists love impromptu volcanic eruptions. Several volcanoes have been identified that erupt every hour.
In the evening, a magnificent show on the water begins in the water park. Fantastic lighting effects are created on the water screen. Various dance performances are held, music festivals and presentation. Nobody will leave indifferent. The entire infrastructure has been created for tourists outside the resort. You will find many hotels, restaurants, cafes, sports grounds, shopping centers and much more. Due to the popularity of the water park, the Japanese decided to attract more and more tourists with the help of numerous water parks.
It is planned to build similar unique structures on other islands in Japan.
The Ocean Dome is a grandiose creation by Japanese architects. You will not find such a structure anywhere in the world. No wonder he was entered into the Guinness Book of Records. The most amazing thing is that there is a natural beach 300 meters from the water park. But despite this, all vacationers prefer the Ocean Dome.
The first time you see pictures of the world's largest indoor water park, you can really think that the picture was taken on a sunny day on the sandy shore of the ocean.
But in fact we are in a building that was built in Japan in 1993. The gigantic structure has a dome 300 meters long and 100 meters wide that opens in sunny weather.
The constant air temperature inside the water park is 30 C, and the water temperature is a pleasant 28 C. In addition, wave generators are installed in the water park, which are capable of reproducing waves several meters high.
Seagaia Ocean Dome entered the Guinness Book of Records as the largest indoor water park in the world.
But for the owners of the water park, the project turned out to be a failure - out of the projected 2.5 million visitors a year, its audience reached a maximum of 1.25 million. In 2007, due to heavy losses, the Seagaia Ocean Dome was closed. As of today, the owners of the water park have no plans to reopen it.
