The Pola Museum of Art was designed to blend into a national park in Hakone. And the Nature Trail was created to make the most of this rich environment. A variety of encounters await visitors along the approximately one-kilometer-long trail. There are stunning beeches and tall stewartia trees. Wild birds sing in every season of the year. And sculptures stand quietly in the forest. Whenever you walk here, you are never far from nature or art. That’s what makes this museum different from the ones in the city.
