What to know
The Narukawa Museum of Art (成川美術館, Narukawa Bijutsukan) is a contemporary art museum focusing on nihonga, or Japanese-style painting. These works adhere to traditional Japanese artistic conventions, techniques, tools, and materials. Originally coined to distinguish them from Western-style paintings, nihonga has since evolved to incorporate Western techniques as well.
In addition to its art collection, the museum boasts an impressive panorama lounge and cafe with large windows overlooking Lake Ashinoko. On clear days, it offers some of the best views of Mount Fuji, the lake, and the floating torii gate of Hakone Shrine.
The Narukawa Art Museum sits just across the street from the Moto-Hakone sightseeing boat pier on the south shore of Lake Ashinoko. For more details, see our access information for reaching Lake Ashinoko.
