An excellent museum for families an a highlight of our time in Hakone. We crossed the other things off our itinerary and stayed until closing. The maze and Woods of Net gave the kids (7 &10) a much needed opportunity to run, laugh play and climb after days in the city. The landscaping, distant views and the exhibits work together beautifully. The Museum was exciting and conveyed ideas and concepts in a way that was accessible and interesting to kids and adults alike.

First time to an open air museum and was blown away by the different installations. Many were very intriguing and was also engaging for the children. We spent a lot longer here than we expected. If not for the rush to the next destination, we could have spent at least 3 hours here. There is also a hot spring foot bath midway into the open air museum

What a stunning place - not to be missed if you're in Hakone! Despite the amount of people that could be let in, the open space lets you appreciate every piece of art in your own time. Moves between contemporary, classical, and outdoor art. The stained-glass tower is a showstopper 😍

Brilliant museum! I absolutely loved this place. So many intriguing and interesting sculptures, set in beautiful surrounds. The foot spring was perfect for a little rest and the Picasso exhibition was a highlight.

The sculptures and landscape of this museum are amazing. We love how everything was put together - again showcasing how artistic and clever the Japanese are in their designs. The Picasso exhibition was also interesting. We love the stained glass tower the most due to its colour and the stories it tells. The grounds are so big that you can easily spend 2 hours here.

This is a lovely open air museum with many interesting sculptures, the area is beautifully set out over the hills. The museum has some wonderful interactive pieces for children, many were having a ball. The museum has some indoor locations including one devoted to Picasso, which we found fascinating and learned a lot about the man. There is also a Cafe/restaurant.

Stopped by here for about an hour. It has some unique and beautiful sculptures and the stained glass tower is magnificent to stand in. While doing the Hakone loop - stop by and spend some time here. It wasn’t very crowded compared to everything else.

I really loved this open-air museum in Hakone. I think it was the highlight of our trip. If I could go again tomorrow, I would. Just a lovely walk in autumn and the sculpture collection was diverse and well curated for the outdoor climate. There was a small collection of Henry Moore; to my surprise and wonder being a small town of Hakone. The Picasso building was also very interesting. Omoshiroi! Picasso’s pieces were not typical Picasso. It revealed his more divergent works; mainly ceramics with unusual applications. Bring good shoes. The pathways are sloped. I did see a wheelchair; but it wasn’t easy.

I enjoy but generally don't "love" museums, but this one was definitely an exception. The wide range and diversity of exhibits for all age groups ensured that you were engaged and attentive throughout. It also helps that it's located in a beautiful spot in Hakone, and on a sunny day, it looks amazing with the outdoor displays.

I arrived around noon in Gora and was looking for things to do. As the options were limited I decided to visit this museum. If I had had more time, I'd probably done something different. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the way the museum is laid out and the artworks positioned in the landscape. If the weather is right and you have a few hours, thus is definitely a good option for the whole family.
