Narukawa Art Museum

Tiny, but pretty nice art museum. Beside paintins and scul[ture it has a collection of caleidoscopes, which very attractive for childrens. Whole family can enjoy beautiful cafe-terrace with view to Ashi lwake. And if you are lucky enough - you can see Fuji-san :) Lower terrace park is very compact but nice and decorated with sculptures.

I believe most tourists visit this place for the stunning window view of Mt. Fuji, and it truly lives up to the hype. The view is absolutely breathtaking and an ideal spot for capturing beautiful photos. The paintings on display are also impressive. I was delighted to find a collection of ink wash paintings, which I personally love. The local artists are incredibly talented, and their work adds a wonderful cultural touch to the experience.

This place has the best views. You need to pay the entrance fee for the cafe but definitely worth it. The museum istels is small but has some amazing pieces. The glass pieces were a nice surprise and fantastic, I wish they had more. People saying it is not impressive clearly have no appreciation for actual art.

Nice small museum covering local Japanese art styles. Also has fantastic views of Lake Ashi!

A hidden gem in Hakone. This museum offers a stunning view and a tranquil atmosphere—perfect for unwinding. It’s an ideal spot to spend half a day with a good book. Peaceful and not crowded at all.

A good art museum to spend time in if you still had time before leaving Hakone. They had some nice painting collections and a cafe with a magnificent view.

This is a nice museum if you’re interested in modern Japanese art, and want to sit and view the amazing view of the lake and large Torii gate of Moto Hakone. If you only have time for 1 museum in Hakone area I would skip this one though, as the open air museum is much more impressive. The view here is really amazing though!

Spectacular view, I recommend to just relax at the cafe. The art exhibits are wonderful and their gift shop. They have nice japanese silk scarves, it was on sale so definitely buy those. The museum opens at 9 but the cafe opens at 10am.

This is an interesting Japanese contemporary art museum in Motohakone. You can also purchase cool postcards here as a memory. The highlight here is that this place is supposed to be one of the best places to view Mt. Fuji. Pray that you're lucky and that Mt. Fuji isn't hiding behind clouds.
