  • 期待以上でした！

    I knew about the Hakone Open-Air Museum, but every time I went to Hakone it always seemed to take a back seat, so I had never visited.
    This was my first time visiting, and it was much larger than I had imagined, and the artworks on display within the facility were all very captivating.
    Walking around the facility surrounded by greenery was good exercise and it became a very fond memory.

  • It was a lot of fun!

    It was spacious and had a lot of artwork, so I enjoyed it for a whole day.
    The glass was beautiful.

  • Recommended for families with children

    The inside of the facility is very spacious!
    Since there will be a lot of outdoor movement, I recommend a sunny day if possible.

    At Net Forest, children from 4 years old to elementary school students can use their physical strength to climb up.
    *This is my personal feeling, but children under 3 years old may be afraid to climb.

    The giant maze was also very popular with the kids, and they enjoyed getting lost in it many times.

    There is a diaper changing area in the restroom, and diapers are sold at the souvenir shop, so it's great for families with babies.

    There's also a Picasso museum, so it's also recommended for adults!

  • Instant movie

    There are many works that stand out. It's fun for adults, and children can enjoy moving their bodies to their heart's content in a place called Net Forest. I also heard kids coming out of the internet forest and moving on to different places, saying that this place is the best (lol). It took about 2 hours to go around and be satisfied!

  • Fun for both children and adults

    I've been here several times, but this time I was surprised to see so many tourists from overseas.
    There were fun photo spots and places for children to play, so the whole family could enjoy it.

    2024.03.28 Pon (Kanagawa) Women
  • It's art!

    It was my first time visiting here, and I was impressed by the large number of sculptures that were erected in the vast area.
    It was a time when I was able to experience art for the first time in a long time, and my soul was cleansed.
    It was too early for the cherry blossoms to bloom, but I thought the sculptures would stand out even more when they were in full bloom.
    I would like to visit again at a different time.

  • Stroll around the spacious grounds.

    It has a wide corner, so it's a good exercise. The Picasso art is especially worth seeing.

    2024.02.12 Shio-chan (Chiba) Women
  • There is a sense of openness!

    I am inspired by various works and find myself staring at them. Both adults and children can hone their sensibilities by interacting with open works of art.

  • Art museums you can enjoy with kids

    When it comes to art museums, it can be difficult to enjoy them with children, but the Open Air Museum has many fun exhibits for children.
    There is a footbath, so bring a mini towel, a plastic bag, and a change of clothes for small children.

    2023.11.26 Kururikura (Kanagawa) Women
  • Time flies!

    I went there thinking it was just a trip to Hakone, but I'm really glad I went!
    There were various sculptures, paintings, and even a footbath, and it was so much fun that time passed quickly.

    2023.11.21 Nakotan (Chiba) Women

  • Even 1-year-olds can enjoy it♪ Perfect for bringing children!

    　I knew from my research that I could let my kids play in Net Forest, but in addition to that, there was a maze, a footbath, a fried egg object that you could climb on, and a lot of art that you could actually interact with. It was good.
    It seemed fun to be able to walk around a lot.
    As a parent, I'm glad I was able to show Picasso.
    The content was easy for children to be interested in, such as facial motifs.
    I would like to come again and have more time this time.

  • Even my 8 year old had fun! !

    There was internet play equipment for the children to play with, and I took lots of pictures of them in the same poses as the artworks, and the grounds were spacious, so it was a good exercise and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The souvenir buns were cute.

  • It looks like a big park!

    It is no exaggeration to say that this is a vast park rather than an art museum, and there are many art objects on the site.

    If you go when the season is good, the flowers are also very beautiful and there is a great deal.
    There is also a footbath at the shop and cafe, and it is a very nice place where you can fully enjoy the day!

    2023.08.19 Mitosa (Kanagawa) Women
  • This is the first time I've been to a museum like this!

    I'm the type of person who doesn't really care about museums, but this place was different!I'm glad I went!I was able to take a lot of great photos, and above all, I felt that art was an explosion!It seems that the children were also impressed, so they wrote it in a picture diary!

    2023.08.16 Take (Hiroshima) Women

  • Kids are having a blast!

    There is an exhibition of tupera tupera, which children love, and they can play in the forest of nets.Parents and children could enjoy art appreciation, footbath, and delicious food on the spacious grounds!

    2023.07.02 Nakochika (Tokyo) Women

  • Great to see fried eggs!

    It was a place I went to once when I was an elementary school student.
    I was very satisfied that I was able to safely see the fried egg object that was recently famous on SNS.
    I want to go again soon.

  • If the sun had come out, it would have been even more beautiful.

    We traveled to Hakone for our 20th wedding anniversary.
    Head to the Hakone Open-Air Museum to see the "Symphonic Sculptures that Call for Happiness" that you've always wanted to see.
    I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately it looks like rain.
    It was very beautiful, but it was a bit of a disappointing trip.
    Next time, I hope the weather will be nice.

  • picasso nice

    After eating lunch, I stopped by for a walk.
    The weather was good, and I was able to appreciate various works of art while looking at the mountains, and I enjoyed it more than I imagined, with flowers blooming along the way and a suspension bridge.
    I was happy to be able to spend a wonderful time touching the life of my favorite Picasso.

    2023.03.12 Pink (Tokyo) Women
  • Large enough to play all day long!

    Nature and sculpture work are integrated and you can enjoy both.
    It's a place where you can spend a whole day with so much to see.Each work has an explanation, so you can deepen your learning.
