Hakone Open-Air Museum

箱根彫刻の森美術館

Kanagawa · Kanto

The Hakone Open-Air Museum charges ¥2,000 for a same-day adult ticket (¥1,800 booked online in advance) and stops admitting visitors at 16:30, so it does not work as a late-afternoon stop. Its sculptures stand outdoors across a hillside site with the Hakone mountains behind them, and there is a Picasso pavilion and a foot bath fed by hot spring water within the grounds.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on the hot springs and views, overlooking this artistic gem.
