About this experience
Tucked into the hills of Hakone, the Venetian Glass Museum brings a slice of Murano glassmaking tradition to Kanagawa. The museum's collection centres on Venetian glass art, displayed across indoor galleries and an outdoor garden setting designed to complement the delicate, colourful pieces on show. It's a different kind of stop on a Hakone itinerary — less about volcanic scenery and more about craftsmanship and design.
What to expect
Once inside, you'll move through gallery spaces showing Venetian glass art, followed by time in the outdoor Glass Forest garden, where sculptures and installations are set among the landscaping. Weather permitting, the Fontana fountain area adds a further outdoor moment to the visit. A café on-site gives you a chance to pause partway through.
Things to note
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the visit includes both indoor galleries and outdoor garden walking
- Bring a light jacket if visiting outside the outdoor Glass Forest area, since much of it is open-air
- Touching the glass artworks and installations is not permitted
- Outside food and drinks aren't allowed inside the museum buildings, though an on-site café is available
- The outdoor Fontana fountain may close temporarily in bad weather
- Book ahead during Golden Week, public holidays and autumn foliage season, when the museum gets busier
