What other travelers are saying about Hakone Open-Air Museum
This was a semi planned stop that became the highlight of the day for our kids. The loved the play structures and could have spent hours on those alone. It was a beautiful walk with amazing sculptures and art. The foot hot spring was exactly what we needed after a long day of walking. Definitely worth the stop!
Beautiful gardens perched up within the mountains with a range of interesting and varied sculptures. There are a several food options available in and around the museum, including a lunch buffet with a view of the valley and there is also a gift shop stocked with some cool artsy stuff.
Getting here by public transport from Tokyo/ other major cities Japan while still being possible, may be a little more difficult due to there being less trains and buses going up and down the mountains. Private transport may be advised due to the quantity of hills in the Hakone area.
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 best open-air art space we've ever seen. World class works displayed in perfect harmony with the setting. Bonus, major Picasso exhibit as well! This place is amazing.
Apart from the art display,I appreciated its location. True,the area can be far depending on your location . But where it is,is an art in itself;in nature,quiet,fresh air.
We bought our ticket online when we were there because a saw a slight discount if you buy online.
