Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- massimilianoFlorence, Italy523 contributionsBeautiful open air museum immersed in a tradizional Japanese garden with 2 focus on precious sculputres (giacometti, manzù and a Picasso pavilion).
Really worth a visit if you in Hakone. A shame you cannot take pictures in succ a beautiful envinronmentWritten 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - SkaramooshEdmonton, Canada4,204 contributionsIt was an option offered by the bus driver to take the Hakone Ropeway as there was quite heavy traffic building up as we were heading up the hill. It was on our own dime but we jumped at the chance.
The ride was uneventful but the views were great.
We recommend it if given the chance or opportunity.Written 24 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's a tour you can take by using the pirate ship. If you bought the Hakone day pass, this is already included in your ticket. Let the gentle breeze refresh you. Background music (using your AirPods) optional.Written 28 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- msa23_2000Chino Hills, CA1,525 contributionsIt was an early rainy morning but the cedars were beautiful and splendid. It was very peaceful. It is a nice walk and really celebrated the cedar forest and hakone lake and the mountains.Written 12 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SkaramooshEdmonton, Canada4,204 contributionsAs you exit the ropeway car there's the distinct smell of sulphur. The weather is cool with a breeze. There's a couple of eateries and souvenir shops in and around the top. Visit the Hakone Geo Museum...it's rather interesting.

The museum itself is small and easy to navigate. But the collections are super impressive with lots of masterpieces on rotations from around the world.
Truly a gem in the art scene in Hakone, Japan.
They also have a cute cafe which serves the best artsy jello dessert, like an impressionist painting (in one of the photos).Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a slow smooth ride with an idyllic view of the mountain scenery, shops and houses so close to the rail line. It was a short steep ride to the stop where we had to disembark in order to catch the cable car. Short but sweet ride.Written 14 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GDay1044Durban, South Africa1,183 contributions– This is a wonderland of Venetian Glass exquisite and beautifully presented in a walk through museum full of colour and sparkle – the open air grounds feature a bridge, water mill a lake and an upmarket restaurant ( seperate no charge entrance fee) – we were here on a Sunday with lots of visitors who were predominately Japanese families – entrance was 1800 yen on the pricey side but to me well worth the value.Written 29 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MapleLeafGirl123Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia2,427 contributionsIt was quite chilly and windy at the top; but a very peaceful walk. There were very few people, a quiet corner of Japan we very much enjoyed.
The view of Mt Fuji san was clear and unobstructed. The trails were well marked with uneven steps. Good shoes needed. There were elderly travellers having a difficult time on the rocky paths. Air was fresh and crisp.Written 5 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From our point of view it was worth it just to walk through the gardens alone. Everything was just turning autumnal and looked lovelyWritten 13 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GLMSan Francisco, CA1,026 contributionsThis is a superb museum and the price reflects the collection. There are wonderful examples of pottery and they are well arranged and illuminated. They do make you store your cameras and such in lockers - not certain as to why they take these extra precautions when most museums just say no photography. After walking through the extensive private collection, take a few minutes to enjoy the foot baths - a delightful way to end a museum visit that has you on your feet for a long time.Written 5 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KestasKSVilnius, Lithuania3,809 contributionsA really beautiful garden, enter for free if have Hakone Pass. Lots of roses, nice fountain in the middle. A coffee shop with a view. At the bottom, there an old tea house where you can ask for a tea ceremony at an extra fee.Written 3 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
