What other travelers are saying about Hakone Open-Air Museum
Not a very big art person but this art gallery was huge and there were plenty of beautiful pieces. Got a lot of great pictures here as well. It was pretty convenient to get there as well. There is a huge play area for kids and also another park as well!
The open air concept is really nice and worth the visit on a sunny weather where small gushes of wind is blowing 💨 I reckon this place is popular during the Spring and Fall times 🍁🌸🍂
Mainly exhibits sculptural artworks and the area is quite large that it may take up to 2 hours just walking around. Very photogenic spot and family friendly.
A good collections of sculptures from from global sources. Thoughtful arrangement that immerse arts into the surroundings. Nice touch of the foot bath into this harmonious experience. A great interactive way to introduce arts for younge kids as well.
The Hakone Open-Air Museum is an absolute gem and a must-visit for art and nature lovers alike. The museum offers a perfect blend of stunning outdoor sculptures, beautiful gardens, and thoughtfully curated indoor exhibits. Make sure to allocate at least three hours to fully explore and appreciate everything—it’s worth it!
One of the highlights for me was the breathtaking glass tower, a dazzling structure that’s both visually stunning and fun to explore. Climbing the tower offers unique views and a chance to admire the intricate design up close.
From the iconic Picasso Pavilion to the interactive art pieces and the peaceful harmony between art and nature, every corner of the museum is designed to inspire. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or as part of a group, this museum has something for everyone. It’s an unforgettable experience I highly recommend!
