The Hakone Open-Air Museum

The Hakone Open-Air Museum was established in 1969 by the Fujisankei Group as Japan's first outdoor art museum. Spanning approximately 70,000 square meters, the spacious grounds feature over 120 works by modern and contemporary masters such as Rodin, Moore, and Miro, allowing visitors to enjoy art amidst the rich natural surroundings that change with the seasons and weather. Additionally, there are five indoor exhibition halls, including the Picasso Pavilion, which displays more than 300 pieces of Picasso's collection. Children can enjoy hands-on art installations and play sculptures, making it a perfect destination for families to spend an entire day. Furthermore, there is a footbath fed by a natural hot spring on the premises, providing relaxation alongside art appreciation.
