Symphonic Sculpture
About
Located inside the Hakone Open-Air Museum, the Symphonic Sculpture is a breathtaking, climbable tower created by artist Gabriel Loire. Its massive interior is lined entirely with vibrant stained glass that illuminates a central spiral staircase with brilliant, multicolored light. Clambering up the steps rewards you with a dazzling sensory experience and panoramic views of the surrounding Hakone mountains from the top viewing platform.
Insider Tip
Climb slowly and watch your step; the spiral staircase is narrow, can feel dizzying, and is entirely open to the towering interior.
