although the weather is not good enough, the lake District is nice , you can enjoy the pirate cruise and stay calm nearby.

The outdoor part of the museum displays more than 120 large-scale sculptures and artworks distributed among the rolling hillside grasslands and gardens. You can stroll on the grassland or take photos among the mountain scenery and sculptures, forming a unique interactive art experience. 1
The "Picasso Pavilion" in the art museum is one of the highlights and is dedicated to collections.
There are about 300 pieces of Picasso's works, including his paintings, ceramics, sculptures, prints and tapestries (! You are not allowed to take pictures in the Picasso Museum, you can only remember this beautiful moment with your eyes)
This is not only a place to display art, it is integrated with the surrounding natural environment, allowing us to enjoy the tranquil natural scenery while appreciating art.
Highly recommend everyone to visit when in Hakone!
The local art gallery is most famous for a glass church⛪️, but it was under maintenance, so unfortunately I didn't get in to take pictures. The Japanese Art Museum is worth a walk in. It's fun to see and have fun😍

I visited for the first time in decades. In conclusion, I'm glad the kids enjoyed it. Personally, I like the open-air bath at the end, where you can enjoy the sun and feel calm because not many people come that far.
spending our family day out here is so fun and my kids enjoy a lot… the view and ambiance are amazing…. kids will enjoy this place….

this is the way, enjoy a fast and comfortable convenient ride , there are quite many tourists so you may consider to go there earlier
A very different experience, you can see the mountains that started erupting thousands of years ago, and you may see Mount Fuji when the weather is good. You can buy various goods at the stops along the way.

The garden landscape of the Glass Forest Art Museum is really amazing! Entering the art museum, you can see the amazing Fontana fountain, the sparkling trees, springs, and waterfalls are all made of glass balls, shining in the sun. The crystal porch made of crystal bead curtains makes people linger, and the strange glass installation stands quietly in the center of the lake, attracting the attention of every traveler. The medieval European-style architecture adds a fairy-tale romantic color to the entire garden. There are all kinds of lifelike flowers and plants made of glass in the garden, which is very novel! Okay, I can't write a small essay anymore, let's take a look at the pictures?
The indoor exhibition is glass products from Venice from the 15th to the 19th century and glass products by contemporary artists in Venice. In fact, I am not very interested in them, although they are very exquisite.
But the beautiful garden landscape is really worth it for fairies to come and check in and take pictures. Ca Glass Forest Art Museum closes at 5:30. Fairies who want to arrange a day to see the exhibition can first visit the nearby Sculpture Forest and Pola Art Museum, and finally come here.
Although the sky was not good and it was drizzling, it was still very romantic. There was a new view at every step. The glass products were also very ornamental. It was a pity that I didn’t have time to experience making them! The ducklings in the lake were so cute!

the onsen is beautiful scene and good, you can just walking around and then enjoy the onsen afterwards after to relaxing in
Yumoto Onsen is also a very comfortable and relaxing place. The hot springs are all natural. Due to Japan's volcanic geological structure, there are many natural hot springs in this area that can be experienced. The water temperature is also quite comfortable and it is worth a try.

It is right next to the Moto-Hakone Port and is definitely worth a visit. There are escalators up the mountain, which is a great angle to view Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi Bird's Nest in the city. There are also a variety of gem artworks and art exhibitions in the museum.
The Narukawa Art Museum is built on a slightly raised hill and is surrounded by lush greenery. While you are appreciating the works, you can walk outside through the glass door in front of the museum and stroll in the garden.

I've been here last autumn season and I really love the place.
Hakone Shrine is located at the foot of Mt. Hakone. It is a very old shrine and has a high status in the Kanto region. Looking at these towering old trees, do you feel the sense of age? It is said that there are 800-year-old trees on both sides of the shrine.
