Close to both Tokyo and Mount Fuji the small town of Hakone holds something of a revelation.

Hakone – Japan’s Amazing Open Air Museum

However, unless you are from Japan, you may well not have heard of it. The town plays host to a large open air museum where the works of many famous artists are held - outdoors. It is an attempt (and a successful one) to balance art and nature in harmony. The artworks, combined with the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains give the visitor an unforgettable experience. There are surprises around every corner at this unique museum, sights which will provoke thought and sometimes even laughter. Perhaps before you start to explore the massive grounds you should visit the extravagant stained glass tower which in the light of summer is like something from a fairy tale. From the top of the staircase you can take a look at what else is on offer - below is just one of the angles to be surveyed from its dizzy heights.

Among the more thought provoking pieces is Man and Pagasus by Carl Milles.
