WONDERFUL

since watching one show on one television station about the island of Kyushu, Japan,about one year ago I became very curious about this  island. So here's the results I get after browsing on the Internet.

  

Kyushu (九州, Kyūshū?, lit. "Nine Provinces"[2]) is the third largest island of Japan and most southwesterly of its four main islands. Its alternate ancient names include Kyūkoku (九国?, "Nine States"), "West of the Pacified Area"鎮西 (Chinzei?), and Tsukushi-no-shima (筑紫島?, "Island of Tsukushi"). The historical regional name Saikaidō (西海道?, lit. West Sea Circuit) referred to Kyushu and its surrounding islands.

Kyushu has a population of 13,231,995 (2006) and covers 35,640 square kilometres (13,760 sq mi)

Geography

The island is mountainous, and Japan's most active volcano, Mt Aso at 1,591 metres (5,220 ft), is on Kyushu. There are many other signs of tectonic activity, including numerous areas of hot springs. The most famous of these are in Beppu, on the east shore, and around Mt. Aso, in central Kyushu.
The name Kyūshū comes from the nine ancient provinces of Saikaidō situated on the island: Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, Buzen, Bungo, Hyūga, Osumi, and Satsuma.
Today's Kyushu Region (九州地方, Kyūshū-chihō^?) is a politically defined region that consists of the seven prefectures on the island of Kyushu and also Okinawa Prefecture to the south:

• Northern Kyushu
• Fukuoka Prefecture
• Saga Prefecture
• Kumamoto Prefecture
• Nagasaki Prefecture
• Ōita Prefecture
• Kagoshima Prefecture
• Miyazaki Prefecture
• Okinawa Prefecture

The world’s 37th largest island by area, Kyushu is smaller than Spitsbergen but larger than New Britain and Taiwan. By population, it ranks 13th, having fewer inhabitants than Borneo or Sulawesi, but more than Salsette or Cuba.

and this is one of the attractions in the island of Kyushu, Japan exactly on the iyazaki island ..

and this is it..

the WONDERFUL of OCEAN DOME

The Seagaia Ocean Dome was the world's largest indoor waterpark, located in Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan. The Ocean Dome, which was a part of the Sheraton Seagaia Resort, measured 300 metres in length and 100 metres in width, and was listed on the Guinness World Records. It opened in 1993, and visitor numbers peaked in 1995 at 1.25 million a year. Entrance cost was ¥2600 per adult and ¥1600 for children, depending on the season. The Ocean Dome was officially closed on October 1, 2007 as part of a renovation and partial re-branding of the resort. ^[1]
The Ocean Dome sported a fake flame-spitting volcano, artificial sand and the world's largest retractable roof, which provided a permanently blue sky even on a rainy day. The air temperature was always held at around 30(80 degrees farheinheit) degrees celsius and the water at around 28.
