Italian garden and manor..... (Yoshiyuki's)

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 26 August 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is the "Glass Forest Museum" in Hakone, below Mt.Fuji. The museum is a fine collection of Venetian glass, old and modern. The building that shelters the displays is an imitation of an Italian manor and the garden around it is also landscaped in Italian style. A location where one can spend most pleasantly the day, visiting the museum inside, having lunch at the Italian restaurant (real Italian vocal music included) and then spending the afternoon in the garden, which goes in stages down to the small river below.
