This video, titled "[Hakone Venetian Glass Museum] A Popular Sightseeing Attraction in Hakone / Enchantingly Beautiful Venetian Glass" (【ガラスの森美術館】箱根おすすめ観光地/美しいヴェネチアンガラスにうっとり❤Venetian Glass,Garasunomori Museum,Hakone,Japan[SUB]), was uploaded by "MaYu_diary."
This vlog introduces the highlights and must-see spots at the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum, with its beautiful Venetian glass works, as well as the café attached to the museum.
Be sure to check out the beauty of the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum, a popular tourist attraction in Hakone.
Highlights of the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum + Average Time Spent There
The Hakone Venetian Glass Museum, a tourist attraction in Hakone, is Japan's first museum dedicated to Venetian glass. Facilities include a Venetian Glass Museum, a contemporary glass museum, a hands-on workshop, and a café/restaurant.
The Venetian Glass Museum exhibits Venetian glass made from modern times to the present day in a building designed in the image of an aristocratic mansion.
The Venetian Modern Glass Museum displays artistic glass works created by modern glass artisans for the enjoyment of visitors.
The entire Hakone Venetian Glass Museum can be viewed in one to one and a half hours, or two to three hours if you include lunch and a hands-on workshop.
Gardens Decorated With Beautiful Glasswork and Seasonal Flowers
Glass monuments and glassworks are arranged in the garden of the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum. Especially famous is the "Corridor of Light" on the path leading to the Venetian Glass Museum.
The 9-meter-tall, 10-meter-long arch is covered with approximately 160,000 pieces of crystal glass, which sparkle and shine in the sunlight, creating a magical sight. During autumn, when the leaves change color, the sunlight and wind make the arches glow even brighter, making them a photogenic spot that further accentuates the beauty of the garden and is popular amongst instagrammers.
The garden is planted with seasonal flowers, and visitors can also see beautifully blooming hydrangeas and roses. In addition, mallard ducks in the ponds provide comfort to visitors with their amiability.
Also popular in winter are the Christmas trees made of crystal glass in various sizes. Visitors can also enjoy a fantastic crystal illumination.
Lunch at a Café Inside the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum
The gardens are home to the famous café/restaurant "La Canzone," where guests can enjoy a special lunch menu, cappuccinos, and seasonal sweets.
Particularly famous are the croissants. Many people visit for the croissants, but other popular items include sandwiches, gelato, and chiffon cakes. Although it's currently closed, you can also enjoy listening to canzone music at this very popular café/restaurant.
Create Lasting Memories at Various Hands-on Workshops!
As mentioned above, the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum offers hands-on workshops. There is a "Sandblasting Workshop" where you can engrave your desired patterns on glass, and a "Fusing Workshop" where you can make one-of-a-kind original accessories using glass. In the spring of 2022, a "Venice Mask Making Workshop" was held as well.
Reservations for each hands-on workshop are recommended at least one day in advance.
