Founded in 1952 by Okada Mokichi, the Hakone Museum of Art is Hakone's oldest museum and is renowned for its remarkable collection of ancient Japanese ceramics dating from the prehistoric Jomon period through the Edo era. Beyond the historic pottery exhibits, the museum's centerpiece is a breathtaking moss garden shaded by hundreds of Japanese maple trees that blaze with color in autumn. Stone pathways invite quiet contemplative strolls, leading to a serene teahouse where guests can enjoy matcha alongside lush garden views. It offers a deeply relaxing cultural retreat combining fine traditional artistry with pristine nature.
