Pros

  • Your Hakone itinerary is perfection and you'll love the open air museum
  • Another recommendation for Hakone Open Air Museum! Relaxing and a pleasant stroll, not crowded at all when I visited in December
  • Ughhhh I only had 1 hour at the open air museum but it is definitely my favorite museum in the world! Loved it.
  • For Hakone - consider visiting the Open Air museum, really well done and some beautiful views and art
  • If you're art lovers I might recommend making more time for the Open Air Museum in Hakone. The outdoor parts are a decent walk to see all of it and there is a fantastic Picasso exhibit on the premises.

Cons

  • The Open Air museum is...in the open air, outside. It's not an outstanding option for inclement weather.
  • Hakone Open Air Museum
  • Only go to the Open Air Museum if you really like modern art. Otherwise, it's a waste and it has an expensive entrance fee compared to average Japan prices.
  • Hakone Open Air Museum is not really worth the money imo from my experience.

If you want to visit open air museum, and is travelling via hakone ropeway, don't buy return ticket. just buy single ticket. especially if you need to queue for more than hour on the first station.

For day 6, the Open Air Museum is part of the Loop.

I got lucky with an empty cable car all the way down to the Hakone Open Air Museum. Gained a few life hearts by visiting the natural foot baths
