We didn’t go down to the loop or anywhere else in Hakone due to time, we mostly did the museum and stayed in an adorable ryokan with an onsen that was nearby! The food options were a little limited, but it was so cute in that part of town. If we stayed longer we definitely would have explored more.
The open air museum was one of the best parts of our trip! Insane how they have this huge collection of sculptures in the middle of the mountains! A lot of big names and some really cool Japanese artists I’d never experienced before!
i swear japan always gives me that magical vibe that somehow, things still exist and it's not all just a bad dream.
i mean, when i look at anything from the US, i often get the impression that it all feels like a slurry towards the drain. it's neither steady, fixed, real, nor is it in any way something that one would want to touch.
We skipped the open air museum, was it worthwhile? Hakone loop was great but we didn't have a ton of time when we were there.
Sadly we got snowed out on the ropeway as well so limited cauldera visibility.
