Narukawa Art Museum Tours

In a beautiful setting by Lake Ashinoko in Hakone, the Narukawa Art Museum Art holds a collection of more than 4000 Japanese (nihonga) paintings. Literally meaning ‘Japanese-style painting’, nihonga art follows traditional Japanese artistic conventions, and more recently has expanded to incorporate Western-style techniques too.
This is a small museum, yet each exhibition room has plenty of room for visitors to appreciate the art. In addition, there’s an impressive observatory lounge (and cafe) providing simply stunning panoramic views over Lake Ashinoko and the floating torii gate of Hakone Shrine from its huge glass windows. What’s more, on a clear day, the views extend to reveal the mighty Mount Fuji in the background.
There’s also a pleasant garden at the site, and don’t miss the museum’s unusual collection of kaleidoscopes.
Practical Info
The Narukawa Art Museum stands on a small hill just a few minute’s walk from the Moto Hakone sightseeing boat pier on the south shore of Ashinoko Lake.
