[2025 Hakone Attraction] Travel Guide for The Hakone Open-Air Museum (Updated Mar)

#japantrip Nestled in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Hakone is a picturesque destination just a short trip from Tokyo, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and relaxation. Known for its onsen (hot springs), stunning views of Mount Fuji, and rich history, Hakone is a must-visit for travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure. One of Hakone’s highlights is Lake Ashi (Ashinoko), where you can enjoy a scenic pirate ship cruise while admiring the iconic view of Mount Fuji in the distance. Along the lake, the famous Hakone Shrine stands with its striking red torii gate partially submerged in the water, creating a picture-perfect scene. For art lovers, the Hakone Open-Air Museum offers a unique blend of sculpture art and nature, with impressive installations set against the backdrop of the mountains. Don’t miss the Hakone Ropeway, which takes you on an aerial journey over volcanic landscapes, including the Owakudani Valley, known for its sulfur vents and black eggs boiled in geothermal waters. The town is also renowned for its ryokans (traditional Japanese inns), where you can unwind in natural onsen baths and savor authentic kaiseki cuisine. Whether you’re soaking in a hot spring, exploring art galleries, or gazing at Mount Fuji’s majestic peak, Hakone offers an unforgettable experience that combines relaxation, culture, and natural beauty all in one destination.

This time I went to Tokyo in addition to the citywalk, I also arranged a two-day and one-night trip to Hakone, the land of hot springs. 。 I did a long strategy before setting off, summarizing the 5 key points of Hakone: ❶ First buy Hakone Pass, local transportation unlimited rides ❷ Accommodation choice near Tomben Station, Koro Station, more convenient ❸ Stay one night as much as possible and experience Hakone’s “one night two meals” ❹ Attractions do not have to go, 1-2 essences a day is good ❺ Travel the counterclockwise route to avoid the crowds 。 👇🏻 My counterclockwise avoiding tourist route, pro-test effective, the whole time not in a hurry, leave enough time to go back to the hot spring. ———🗺️———— Day1: Shinjuku Station ━🚞━▶︎ Yumoto Station ━🚎━▶︎ Sculpture Forest Art Museum ━🚎━▶︎ Goro Park ━🚎━▶︎ Yumoto Station (eat dinner) ━🚌━▶︎ Go back to the hot springs 。 Day2: Water Torii (least crowded in the morning) ━🚌━▶︎ Narikawa Art Museum ━🚌━▶︎ Lake Tsurugi (pirate ship) ━🚢━▶︎ Taoyuandai (cable car) ━🚡━▶︎ Owakudani (eating onsen eggs) ━🚡━▶︎ Morunyama ━🚎━▶︎ Yumoto Station 。 🧳Tomoto Station can store your luggage, and you can also have your luggage delivered to your place of residence, which is super convenient, and conversely, you can also send it to the station for storage. ⏰ 8-12:30 baggage collection, 13:30-19:00 delivery 💰800-1200 yen, according to suitcase size 。 Cr: One by one

#2024wish Very unique museum that's expansive and beautiful to walk through, with special exhibit as well like the Picasso museum. Went on a weekend and the weather was beautiful. We were able to buy tickets day of, and there are coin lockers available to store backpacks. We stayed for a few hours as we looked around at a leisurely pace. I wish to go back in 2024.

The museum occupies a vast area and you can spend a few hours roaming the park. It’s a great place for both adults and kids with a lot of great shot opportunities! There’s a paid parking lot and if you use it, make sure to validate the ticket at the shop on the right side of the entrance (on your way in) to pay a flat 500-yen fee for 4 hours. There are some eateries inside in case you get hungry. It’s also accessible by public transportation. You need at least 2 hours to explore the park!

#celebratewithtrip Artworks are usually confined and preserved in museums. But art meets nature in Hakone. Beautiful open air museum set in an incredible mountain backdrop. Lots of awesome sculptures including some interactive ones that kids can play on. There’s also an awesome indoor Picasso exhibit with 300 works (no photos allowed). The environment is so inviting and refreshing, it stimulates your mind, heart, while you get some exercise in walking around their massive facility. Highly recommend giving this place a visit for anyone going to Hakone! #fallingforfall

Girls trip to Hakone I stayed at Hotel Indigo 🥹 After checking in, I spent a lot of time relaxing in the bath ♨ The meat was juicy and delicious. The smell of the firewood was distinctive!! As for sightseeing, I arrived at Hakone-Yumoto Station at 11:30 and made a plan to visit two places before checking in and two places after checking out, but it was quite a tight schedule. Hakone has a lot of art and each one has a lot to see. I bought a free pass to get around, so I used the bus and train! Transportation costs in Hakone are surprisingly high, so I think it was a good idea to get a free pass◎ By the way, the hotel we stayed at had a free shuttle service, and they would take us to Gora Station, the Hakone Open-Air Museum, and the Hakone Museum of Art for free🚗 It was very convenient◎ 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora @hotelindigohakonegora 𖥣 Address: 924-1 Kiga, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture ✈︎Access: Free shuttle from Gora Station ✆ Phone: 0460-83-8310 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #domestictravel #HotelIndigoHakoneGora #Hakone #HakoneSightseeing 🕰️#PolaMuseumofArt #TheHakoneOpenAirMuseum #tripdomestictravel

On a fine November day, I went on a trip to Hakone! And I thoroughly enjoyed the autumn art at the Hakone Open-Air Museum! After entering, I walked down the road and came across a tunnel. The contrast between the blue of the sky and the green of the mountains and trees that can be seen through the tunnel is like a painting and very beautiful! And when I went out of the tunnel, I was immediately struck by large sculptures and art in the vast nature♪ The sculptures that I often see on social media are impressive when I see them in person, and the art that I hadn't seen on social media was even more interesting✨ What I particularly liked was the silver spherical object. At first, I wasn't that impressed just by looking at it. But when I saw the photos I took, I was impressed! How beautiful it is combined with the scenery✨ I'm sure there are other ways to enjoy it. As I walked while appreciating the various art pieces, I could see the stained glass tower in the back. This is a very popular spot and a symbol of the museum, so I was really looking forward to it. The long-awaited stained glass tower was very beautiful with the sunlight shining in😊 If you are going there for this purpose, please go on a sunny day♪ On the day I went, there were a lot of people, so people inevitably appeared in the photos, but if you go early in the morning or on a weekday, I think you can enjoy taking photos at your own pace! Just when you think you've walked a long way, there is a foot bath in just the right place♨️ It's right next to the stained glass tower, so it's easy to find. You can relax in the foot bath, or take a break at the cafe next door◎ There are also maze art and children's athletics, so it's a good place to come with your family♪ The grounds are very large, so it's perfect for a walk◎ It takes about 2 to 3 hours to appreciate the art at your own pace. I'm an art novice, but I was able to enjoy a lot of art! 📍 THE HAKONE OPEN-AIR MUSEUM 1121 Ninohira, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa 250-0493 Tel: 0460-82-1161 Fax: 0460-82-1169 Restaurants and shops Tel: 0460-82-1141 #HakoneTourism #AutumnTrip #ArtTrip #DomesticTravelRecord

This is the Hakone Open-Air Museum. Originally, I wasn't a big fan of art, but the trip to Hakone made me deeply appreciate the beauty of art.

Had two different sets of photos when we went to museums in Japan (The Hakone Open Air Museum • Museum in Fukuoka) and I would recommend the Hakone Open Air Museum. It was a lot of walk because of how huge the place is but it will be worth it. #museums #hakonetrip #fukuokatrip

#100 Ways to Travel #Exhibition #Sculpture Forest Museum #Hakone The Sculpture Forest Museum has a beautiful garden of 70,000 square meters and permanently displays about 120 masterpieces of sculptures by modern and contemporary masters. Whether you are here to appreciate your favorite works or simply want to relax in a green and natural environment, this is an ideal place. In addition to the outdoor sculpture area, the museum also has 5 indoor exhibition halls and natural hot springs for visitors to relax in. The most noteworthy of these is the Picasso Museum, which is themed on Picasso. Hakone has always been one of the most famous tourist destinations in Japan, and the Hakone Open-Air Museum is located in this picturesque forest. After arriving at the art museum, the first thing you see is the vast garden with lush greenery. The various sculptures scattered among them complement each other, forming a harmonious and natural artistic painting. I can't wait to visit the various exhibition areas of the art museum and experience the unique charm of the fusion of art and nature here. The first place we came to was the Picasso Museum, which was just renovated and reopened in July 2019. The museum houses 319 classic works by Picasso, and through works of different themes and periods, it fully displays the artistic style of this great 20th century master of art. From concrete to abstract, from early to late, there is everything, which is dazzling. What impressed me most was his interpretation of the human body, which was full of surreal fantasy and seemed to challenge traditional aesthetic concepts. After renovation in 2019, Picasso's creativity is presented in a whole new way. Through the display of works of different themes and periods, the audience can feel Picasso's unique style and his artistic evolution in different stages of creation. The entire exhibition hall creates an atmosphere of freedom and transcendence of time and space, making people feel as if they are in the world created by Picasso. Wander in the art palace of Master Picasso and feel his unique creativity and imagination. Leaving the Picasso Pavilion, I strolled into another famous attraction in the Sculpture Forest - the Symphony Sculpture. The full name of the Symphony Sculpture is "Symphony Sculpture that Summons Happiness" and it is a tower built by a French artist. There is a spiral staircase inside the tower. As you climb up, the stained glass inlaid on the surrounding walls sparkles beautifully under the sunlight. Standing in it, the glass artworks around refract the sunlight, shining charming light in the woods, as if you are in a crystal fantasy. I walked slowly up the stairs, admiring these uniquely shaped glass artworks. At the end of the stairs, I could feel the green mountains of Hakone surrounding me. I couldn't help but stop for a long time, immersed in this magical interweaving of light and shadow. When I left, I took a dip in the museum's open-air hot spring foot bath, feeling the comfort of the hot spring and relaxing my tired feet. At that moment, I seemed to be integrated into this piece of nature and felt the inner peace and joy. For travelers who love art and nature, the Open-Air Museum is undoubtedly a great destination not to be missed. Whether you are appreciating the rare artworks in the museum or wandering through the sculpture scenery in the woods, it can bring you a relaxing experience for both body and mind. If you have the opportunity to travel to Hakone, be sure to take the time to explore this place. I believe that you will be as fascinated as I was and indulge in the perfect interweaving of art and nature. The way to get to the Open-Air Museum is also very convenient, whether by train or bus, it is easy to get there. From Odawara Station or Hakone Yumoto Station, you can take the bus routes marked "H", "J" and "Z" and get off directly at Ninohira Iriguchi Station. It is a 2-minute walk to the museum entrance. Alternatively, you can take the Hakone Tozan Railway and get off at the "Hakone Tozan Forest" station, which is also a 2-minute walk away. No matter which means of transportation you choose, you can reach this beautiful natural art palace conveniently and quickly.
