Pola Museum of Art

The Pola Museum of Art integrates with its forest environment through an underground structure that extends eight meters above ground in Hakone National Park.

The museum opened in 2002, displaying a collection of 10,000 artworks gathered over 40 years by Tsuneshi Suzuki, the second leader of Pola Corporation.

The galleries exhibit works from Impressionist masters like Monet and Picasso alongside Japanese artists, combining Western paintings with traditional Eastern artistic expressions.

Visitors can access the museum via a free shuttle bus from Gora Station, which connects to the Hakone Tozan Train line from Odawara Station.

The museum features specialized lighting systems developed specifically to showcase each artwork while maintaining harmony with natural illumination from the surrounding forest.
