Located about 80 kilometres from home in Tokyo is the Hakone outdoor museum. Perched on top of a mountain and set in beautifully maintained gardens there is a mixture of sculpture, art to play with and paintings.


As you enter the grounds you come face to face with a huge bison statue and then head to areas that will keep the kids amused for hours including the “soft“ sculpture room (a room full of vinyl covered foam cut outs that can be stacked in any manner) and the wood house which has the most amazing rope spiders web inside designed solely to be climbed on and then there is the cube stack.

 





There are a couple of interesting pieces of sculpture in the gardens including a huge shopping lady and art so good someone fell down.



And the main attraction for many (apart from the hot springs foot bath!?!?) is the Picasso shed.
