This lovely open-air museum boasts wonderful collections of artwork made by some big names in the art game - from Picasso, to Taro Okamoto, to Henry Moore. The various exhibitions are surrounded by gorgeous mountainous landscapes that accentuate the stunning sculptures of the museum.

Gora Kadan is a former imperial retreat that’s been sensitively reworked into a ryokan. Rooms feature tatami flooring, low-slung furniture and often come with private onsen baths. Service is attentive and the atmosphere feels calm without being overly formal. Dinner follows a kaiseki tasting menu focused on seasonality, fresh ingredients and a range of cooking methods. Be mindful of ryokan etiquette of removing shoes, wear the provided yukata (gowns) and familiarise yourself with onsen customs when bathing.

Imagine sunrise at the top of Mount Fuji, silhouettes of visitors framed against the sky. Can you picture anything better? We didn't think so.
