What to know
Hakone Glass no Mori (箱根ガラスの森) features Italian-style buildings housing a museum and shops. Outside, a large strolling garden surrounds a canal-like pond. The garden is dotted with large glass sculptures and includes a cafe with an open terrace where live canzoni (Italian ballads) performances are held.
The Venetian Glass Museum inside displays over 100 pieces of Venetian glassware, including both modern and classical works such as vases, goblets, lamps, and sculptures.
Hakone Glass no Mori is operated by the Ukai Group, which also runs the Kawaguchiko Music Forest on the shore of Lake Kawaguchiko in the Fuji Five Lakes region.
