Hakone Open-Air MuseumCulture · 2 hours · Choose three sculptures at Hakone Open-Air Museum: the funniest, the most seemingly impossible, and the one that best blends with the mountains. Recreate their outlines with poses from a permitted path and score your attempts. Do not climb on or touch the art.OwakudaniNature · 90 min · Check the current safety guidance before exploring Owakudani. Look for three volcanic clues: steam, sulfur color, and a black egg. Keep the seven-year bonus in the realm of myth, and take part only if the area is open and suitable for you.Hakone Shrine and Lake AshiViews · 2 hours · Try a Lake Ashi view challenge: score one point for a torii reflection, two for a pirate ship, and three for Mount Fuji. See how many you can spot from public shorelines or an operating boat, keeping every viewpoint safe.
