The Hakone Open-Air Museum is a sprawling sculpture park nestled in the hills of Hakone, where art and nature converge. Visitors wander through landscaped gardens dotted with over 100 sculptures by renowned artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miró, and a dedicated Picasso Pavilion housing ceramics and paintings. The museum's layout encourages exploration, with pieces integrated into the terrain, including a striking 30-meter-tall Symphonic Sculpture that visitors can enter. A unique highlight is the foot-bath café, where you can soak your feet in hot spring water while admiring the art.
