All Reviews of The Hakone Open-air Museum

You really can't miss this super fun open-air museum when visiting Hakone! Japan's first open-air museum to combine nature and art, it has around 120 sculptures scattered throughout its lush green grounds. You can admire them while strolling around, without any of the pressure of visiting a traditional art museum. It's even more pleasant when the weather is nice. The route is clearly marked, and about 1.5–2 hours is just right for a full loop. The especially popular “Symphonic Sculpture” is absolutely gorgeous in photos, with the light shining through the glass against the blue sky!

People usually think you have to be an art lover to come here, but visiting this place will totally change your mind. The exhibits aren't intimidating or pretentious at all—they feel approachable and relaxed. The way the art blends with nature is so clever, you'll be surprised! I highly recommend stopping by; you'll get a lot out of it!
