Hakone, Japan
Explore a creative world of craftsman's works in Karakuri Secret Box Museum
Located near the Hakone checkpoint and Lake Ashi pirate ship sightseeing cruise stop, Hakone Karakuri Museum is an amazing place for visitors keen on the world of a Japanese handicraft, typically if you’re traveling with curious children. Karakuri, or puzzle box, is a traditional wooden mosaic work with Japanese-style patterns created by various types of wooden pieces with different colors. These patterned boxes get some rather puzzling elements that can only be opened if you know the correct moves. Inside the museum boasts a collection of finely hand-crafted Karakuri boxes which you can touch, feel and enjoy solving the puzzles. You can also purchase a variety of exquisite wooden goods to take home as gifts to friends.
