Pola Museum of Art Cooperates with Monet Centennial Special Exhibition, Launches "Overnight with Monet" Accommodation Plan

Hakone Gora Karaku (Location: Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture, General Manager: Satoshi Wakayama, hereinafter "Karaku") and Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori (Location: Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture, General Manager: Toshihiro Sato, hereinafter "Hanaori") will begin selling the "Overnight with Monet" accommodation plan, which includes museum admission tickets, on July 1, 2026, to coincide with the special exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of Monet's death and the 25th anniversary of the Pola Museum of Art's opening.

Enjoy a fulfilling time connecting art and your stay in Hakone with a viewing experience that can only be savored by staying overnight, embraced by Hakone's rich nature.

Karaku and Hanaori are committed to creating unique local experiences along with regional natural and cultural resources. As part of this initiative, we are cooperating with the Pola Museum of Art's special exhibition to expand the experiential value in Hakone by linking the viewing experience with accommodation.

Karaku and Hanaori are located approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car from the Pola Museum of Art, making it easy to visit the museum during your stay. For those using public transportation, it is a few minutes' walk from Karaku to the free shuttle bus stop for the Pola Museum of Art at Gora Station, and from Hanaori, it takes approximately 25 to 35 minutes by transferring once on the Hakone Tozan Bus from the nearest station, Tougendai. The convenient distance that gently connects your stay and the art viewing is also one of its attractions.

About the Pola Museum of Art and the Special Exhibition "A New Gaze - Monet and 21st Century Art"

The Pola Museum of Art is characterized by its architecture, which is kept to a height of 8 meters above ground and largely built underground, in consideration of Hakone's natural environment and landscape. The collection ranges widely from Western paintings, primarily Impressionism, to contemporary art, allowing visitors to experience diverse artworks in an environment filled with natural light.

The special exhibition "A New Gaze - Monet and 21st Century Art," commemorating the 100th anniversary of Monet's death and the 25th anniversary of the Pola Museum of Art's opening, which began on June 17, features 19 works from the museum's Monet collection, the largest in Asia, alongside works by 18 contemporary artists from Japan and abroad. Visitors can experience a creative dialogue from a new perspective.
