Surrounded by the natural beauty of Hakone, the Hakone Open-Air Museum is a special place where art and scenery are in perfect harmony. The museum's spacious grounds are dotted with works by world-renowned sculptors, and visitors will discover something new every time they walk through the museum. The sense of openness that only an outdoor exhibition can provide and the colors of nature that change with the seasons will put visitors at ease. The "Symphony of Happiness Sculpture," one of the most popular sculptures, is a tower surrounded by 360-degree stained glass windows. When light shines through, the interior is enveloped in a kaleidoscope of beauty. Every time you look up, you will be so impressed that you will forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The museum also has permanent exhibits such as the "Picasso Pavilion," which is full of ideas for art fans as well as those with children and photography enthusiasts. Photography with outdoor art as a backdrop is picturesque in any season.
