Hakone Christmas Vibes

🇯🇵Hakone | Sunset at the Glass Forest🎄✨||▫️We arrived at the Glass Forest at sunset to see the limited-time Christmas tree. From November to January, the Glass Forest has a limited-time glass Christmas tree. The sunset shines through the glass, creating a warm and clear glow. It's beautiful! ▫️The two Christmas trees are called "La coppia", which means "couple" in Italian. The two trees are different sizes and are called "Romeo" and "Juliet". They are made of 150,000 pieces of glass. ▫️During the day, the crystal glass shines in seven different colors in the sunlight, contrasting with the magnificent natural scenery of Hakone Owakudani. At night, the trees are lit up, creating a dreamy scene. ▫️There is also a small glass museum indoors. It is the first museum in Japan to exhibit Venetian glass. The museum displays about 100 works from the 15th to 19th centuries, as well as modern Venetian works. There are also many valuable works on display, such as cobalt blue goblets passed down by the Rothschild family. ▫️There is also a workshop outdoors where you can experience glass making. We didn't have time to try it this time, so we'll save it for next time. ⚠️A small tip: We recommend visiting at sunset. The sunset shines through the glass, creating a warm and clear glow.
