点评:Amazing 120 huge sculptures and art installations set outside on the hilly 17 acres of the museum. The art varies from greatly but is modern and contemporary. It is about a 5 minute walk from the Chokoku-no-Mori Station to the entrance payment windows. It is very affordable at ¥2,000 or USD $13 per adult with small discounts for students and Hakone Free Pass.
We took the escalator down the hill and then strolled in a clockwise direction enjoying the scenery and art – down a hill, taking a break on a brightly colored art sofa sculpture, down the path, across the bridge, up some stairs admiring the artwork along the way, into the star shaped maze, into the jumbo Lincoln log type structure where children under 12 could play on the netting… Then into indoor Picasso Pavillion which contains another 319 pieces and is a good place to warm up (we visited in February). And on the far side of the museum is the café which has a very limited menu with 2 “food” items of muffin and hot dog with some additional sweets and drinks; it also sells some fabric bags and other tchotchkes. Nearby the café is an outdoor natural hot-spring foot bath. In the excitement to try the bath that we didn’t realize we should buy a ¥100 towel until after our feet were wet! After drying off our foot, we strolled back pausing to pose on the jumbo fried egg. Upon reaching the entrance an hour and 20 minutes later, we stopped in the larger museum shop. Then we used our Hakone Free Pass to take the Hakone Tozan Train from Chokoku-no-Mori Station one stop back to Gora Station. It was unique, beautiful, different and relaxing.
翻译:令人惊叹的是,120 座巨大的雕塑和艺术装置坐落在占地 17 英亩的博物馆山丘上。这些艺术品种类繁多,但都是现代和当代的。从雕刻之森站步行约 5 分钟即可到达入口付款窗口。门票价格非常实惠,成人 2,000 日元或 13 美元,学生和箱根周游券持有者可享受小幅折扣。
我们乘坐自动扶梯下山,然后顺时针方向漫步欣赏风景和艺术 - 下山后,在色彩鲜艳的艺术沙发雕塑上休息,沿着小路走,过桥,爬上楼梯欣赏沿途的艺术品,进入星形迷宫,进入巨型林肯原木式结构,12 岁以下的儿童可以在网上玩耍......然后进入室内毕加索馆,里面还有 319 件作品,是一个暖和的好地方(我们二月份去过)。博物馆的另一边是咖啡馆,菜单上只有两种“食物”:松饼和热狗,还有一些糖果和饮料;它还出售一些布袋和其他小玩意。咖啡馆附近是一个室外天然温泉足浴。我们太兴奋了,以至于直到脚都湿了才意识到我们应该买一条 100 日元的毛巾!擦干脚后,我们往回走,停下来在巨型煎蛋上摆姿势。一个小时 20 分钟后到达入口,我们在更大的博物馆商店停了下来。然后,我们使用箱根周游券从雕刻之森站乘坐箱根登山电车,一站返回强罗站。这是独特、美丽、与众不同且令人放松的。
