- Okada Museum: university students pay the adult price (¥2,800); high school students ¥1,800. Garden only ¥300. The foot bath café is free for museum visitors (¥500 otherwise). No phones or cameras in the galleries; lockers are free.
- Pola Museum: the advance ticket (¥2,000 adult, ¥1,500 student) includes the official online e-ticket. Discounts cannot be combined, so the Freepass discount and the advance ticket give the same price for adults.
- Open-Air Museum: online tickets ¥1,800 / ¥1,400 / ¥600 on the official web ticket page. More in our Open-Air Museum tickets guide.
- Glass Forest: the official page says online tickets (sold through asoview) are cheaper than the door price but does not give the price, so the calculator uses the Freepass price.
- Narukawa: print the internet discount coupon on the official site for ¥1,400 (adults). Set tickets: with Hakone Checkpoint ¥1,600 (usually ¥2,000), with the Hakone Wetlands Botanical Garden ¥1,600 (usually ¥2,200).
- Visitors with a disability certificate pay less at every museum (Pola ¥1,100, Okada ¥1,800, Glass Forest ¥900, Lalique ¥750, Narukawa ¥1,200; free at the Hakone Museum of Art). Companion rules differ by museum.
Hakone Museum of Art: closed until 29 October 2026
The Hakone Museum of Art (moss garden, Gora) is closed for renovation from 7 May to 29 October 2026. From 30 October the annex gallery and a new café open as a pre-opening, for ¥1,000 (high school and university ¥500). The main building galleries reopen on 23 December 2026; the regular price is ¥1,500 (¥700). Junior high and younger are always free. The museum is closed on Thursdays.
Is the Hako Ticket worth it for museums?
The Hako Ticket (¥5,500 per adult for 1 day) gives free entry to 4 of these museums: Glass Forest, Lalique, the Hakone Museum of Art and Narukawa. Their four door prices add up to ¥6,300, so an adult who visits all four in one day saves ¥800, before Freepass discounts. With the Freepass, the four cost ¥5,600. Three museums are not enough on their own. Glass Forest and Lalique are both in Sengokuhara, but Narukawa is at Lake Ashi and the Museum of Art in Gora, so four in one day means a lot of bus time. The Hako Ticket also covers 16 hot springs and sights: see the Hako Ticket calculator.
