What a gem! An amazing collection of sculptures by international artists placed in magnificent outdoor setting and surrounded by mountain views! It is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are in Hakone/Mt. Fuji area. This was opened in 1969 as the first open-air museum in Japan. Besides outdoor sculptures, there are also indoor exhibition halls – one of them, Picasso Pavilion, has a collection of works by Picasso (pottery, paintings, sculptures). There are interesting places for children to play, as well as stained glass tower to climb. You can easily spend a few hours here – walk around, take pictures, eat lunch at a restaurant, and end your visit with a hot spring foot bath.
