The Hakone Open-Air Museum seamlessly blends art and greenery, making it a relaxing destination perfect for any season. 🌳Entering the Open-Air Museum, you're immediately struck by a vibrant green garden, each step a delight. Hidden within the woods outside the museum are various sculptures, set against a backdrop of green mountains and mossy trees, creating a unique experience whether rain or shine.
