One of Hakone's most popular tourist destinations is the Hakone Open-Air Museum. It was especially beautiful on this misty June day.
From their website:
The Hakone Open-Air Museum was founded in 1969 to serve as an outdoor art museum that would give people the opportunity to encounter great sculpture in a natural setting. The museum’s mission is to promote sculpture as an environmental art and to bring new energy to Japan’s culture of art.
Our wide variety of sculptural masterpieces span the modern to contemporary genres and are displayed to perfection against the picturesque scenery of the Hakone mountains. Visitors are invited to step into a dialogue between nature and art, where they can appreciate the artists’ creative spirit and the strength of nature simultaneously. The true pleasure of an outdoor museum of art is the chance it offers for those both interested in and indifferent to art, for families and friends, to immerse themselves in a leisurely stroll through a world of art and communicate intimately with the pieces.
