Hakone Glass no Mori Museum

箱根ガラスの森美術館

Kanagawa · Kanto

Hakone Glass no Mori Museum is devoted to Venetian glass, shown indoors and across a garden hung with glass sculpture. Admission is ¥1,800 for adults, ¥1,300 for high school and university students and ¥600 for elementary and junior high pupils; it opens 10:00–17:30 with last admission at 17:00. The museum closes for about eleven days of maintenance each year from the day after Coming of Age Day, so confirm the dates before a January visit.
