The Hakone Open Air Museum is a must see on any visit to Hakone.

Stretched out over a grassy hillside, the park features sculptures by leading international artists, some indoor exhibitions of sculpture, and a pavillion with works by Picasso.

Suggested Activity
Become a Samurai in Tokyo
Who doesn't want to swing a sword and emulate the warriors of feudal Japan? Experience being a samurai for yourself in one of the coolest activities in Tokyo. During your intimate lesson, you’ll get to dress up in a samurai outfit and train with a traditional katana (single-edged samurai sword)!
