In August 2026, Nicolai Bergmann Hakone Gardens offers a variety of content to enjoy amid nature — whether you're visiting alone or with others. These experiences can only be found in the summer garden, where dappled sunlight filters through the trees and a quiet, emotional atmosphere fills the air.

① Botanical Objects

Throughout the garden, discover a series of sculptural objects crafted from natural materials in a variety of forms. Each one handmade, these pieces coexist with the surrounding flowers and forest, radiating a mysterious, one-of-a-kind presence. Enjoy these meticulously crafted, beautifully composed objects — a signature only Nicolai Bergmann could create — throughout the summer break.

② Marketplace Garden Games

Five original garden games await you in the Marketplace: ring toss, putting golf, table hockey, bowling, and cornhole. Each one is trickier than it looks — addictively fun for children and adults alike, once you give it a try. Make them part of your summer memories.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hakone Gardens this summer.
