About The Hakone Open-Air Museum
The Hakone Open-Air Museum is Japan’s first open-air art museum, located in the scenic mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture. Spread across spacious, landscaped grounds, the museum features over 100 large-scale sculptures by Japanese and international artists, thoughtfully placed among rolling hills, gardens, and forested paths. The surrounding mountains provide a stunning natural backdrop, with seasonal changes adding variety to every visit—from cherry blossoms in spring to fiery foliage in autumn. Photographers can explore a mix of abstract forms, interactive pieces, and architectural structures in natural light. The museum is easily accessible by train and bus from central Hakone.
