On the first day of Hakone, there was a cloud and fog, and I couldn't see Mt. Fuji in Lake Ashinoko, so I went to Hakone Carving Mori Art Museum, which was originally just a destination to hang out in the hot springs in Hakone, but after going there, I was really amazed that it was an art museum, rather than an art park, with different theme pavilions.

In addition to the exhibition of indoor works, there are a large number of outdoor sculptures here, which are integrated with the park scenery, and the scenery is beautiful, which is worth visiting. It took me nearly 3 hours to go to the entire art museum by myself, and there are many children's amusement projects, which can be played for a whole day for children.

The huge stained glass spiral staircase, like a kaleidoscope, leads up to the summit overlooking the Art Park. The Picasso Pavilion here is also worth seeing, with more than 300 pieces. The center of the exhibition is 188 ceramic works purchased from Picasso's daughter, Maya Picasso, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, stained glass, and gold and silver objects.

Blowing mountain wind, full of green eyes, many famous artists scattered sculptures in the silent mountains. There is also an 18-meter tall glass tower by Gabriel Loire that appears to walk into a rainbow. Climb the spiral staircase to the highest observation deck overlooking the mountains.

Among them, the most famous is the Picasso Museum (all exhibition halls cannot take photos), which displays Picasso's art works from childhood to the end of his life, in addition to paintings, more sculpture works of different themes.


The park of the Art Museum is very beautiful, with whole pieces of golden lawn and installation art of different shapes. It is easy to take photos at any time. Outdoor, several degrees below zero, you can still enjoy the sunshine indoors, enjoy the scenery, eat ice cream, enjoy the rare warm winter sun, wander around to see the exhibition and take photos.

The garden is very large, it is recommended to leave 2 hours to stroll slowly. It was 4 o 'clock when I entered the park, about 5:15 after visiting, more than an hour was rushed, and I was lucky enough to become the last tourist of the day, enjoying the treatment of the security uncle escorted all the way to the door. Although the park staff will not directly urge you, he will follow you closely, which is also an invisible pressure until you reach the exit. There are souvenir shops at the door, I wanted to visit, but also because of the closure of business and can not enter. So it's best to allow some time.

The dining place was also very surprising, overlooking the entire art museum, and suddenly found that there was a blue sea in the mountains. Mountains and seas accompanied by food and wine, such as in the country is estimated to have long become a crowded check-in point, but only one or two tables in the afternoon, you can seriously enjoy the food and scenery.

Finally, the downhill route took a small train that was only seen in the Japanese TV series and anime, with only three carriages in total, and drove out from the mountains, sitting opposite the Japanese junior high school students wearing local school uniforms, and felt the wonderful situation of crossing into the second Yuan.
