Miyazaki Seagaia Ocean Dome in Japan
Civil Society (wiki) - urs @ 12:39:41

Got an email today from a friend with an enormous indoor beach on a picture. I have never heard of such a "pool" and finally found that "Seagaia Ocean Dome" [1] which belongs to a Sheraton Resort [2]:

Among the amusement facilities is Ocean Dome, one of the largest indoor water parks in the world that can accommodate 10,000 people. A sliding mechanism allows the roof to be opened or closed. The dome is 38 m high (41.8 yd.), and encloses the area 300 m (330 yd.) wide and 100 m (110 yd.) deep. Inside, there is a man-made ocean with waves and beach, and a mid-summer environment is maintained with the air temperature at 30ºC (86ºF) and the water temperature at 28 ºC (82.4ºF) all year round.

I haven't been there myself, so the best I can do for you is provide that link to look around for some pictures on the web:
