About
Nestled in Hakone's scenic Sengokuhara highlands, this whimsical museum transports you to Venice with its exquisite collection of 15th to 20th-century Venetian glassware. The highlight is the outdoor garden, where sparkling glass trees and crystal arches shimmer against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Expect a peaceful stroll along winding pathways, followed by live Italian music at the open-air cafe.
Insider Tip
Visit on a sunny day if possible; the outdoor crystal installations are spectacular when they catch and refract the direct sunlight.
