Each pod can accommodate up to three people. Inside are sofa beds, a toilet and shower. Steps go up to an outdoor observation deck.
Huis Ten Bosch Co., the theme park operator, will start trials of the pod this month, with an eye to beginning the service in summer, The company plans to have a ship tow the pods between the theme park and a nearby island.
In a program planned by the operator, visitors will check in at the Huis Ten Bosch resort. Then, they will enter the capsule to travel to an uninhabited island in Osuma Bay, near the city of Saikai.
The company plans to open a facility on the island to let visitors fight dinosaurs in an augmented-reality game.
