Asante Inn is a charming guest house with very helpful staff. The Inn has a beautiful Japanese garden. There is a very peaceful area for sitting dining/drinking tea overlooking the garden. For extra fee the Inn has breakfast and dinner. It also has 2 private onsens the guests can reserve. The bedroom we stayed at was Japanese style, we slept on the floor. Overall we loved the peaceful tranquility and homey feel of this place. The staff gave us a ride to the train station after we checked out. We want to come back again.

There's a zen garden which is very much the highlight for the property. They have 2 onsens inside the property allowed for guests private use for 40min every session per night per stay with an additional onsen tax charge by selecting their preferred timing from 4.30pm onwards everyday. All of their staff are well communicated by english. They have their own kitchen available for breakfast set and dinner orders. Other facilities in the properties such as play room (with yoga equipments), coined laundry machine, massage chair etc avaliable for guest use. It was really a lovely stay. However, do note that Hakone's day usually ends 4-5pm. So do plan your itineary properly and the property is about 20min walk through staircase from Gora station once the bus service rans out. Otherwise, it is only 6min walk from bus station.

Cosy fireplace and large spacious rooms
Amazing stay! The staff were absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful. The rooms were really big and spacious, and had lovely views of the beautiful garden outside. The onsen was such a treat and made us feel super relaxed after a long day out. We also loved sitting in the lounge area where the fire was burning and chatting to other guests. Shared bathrooms were extremely clean! Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Great little hotel off the beaten path near Gora Station. Easy enough to get around the Hakone are while also having some seclusion, not to mention the private Onsen and nice lounge area!

Fantastic stay, would definitely recommend to frie
We loved our stay at the Asante Inn. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and very helpful with local recommendations. We had a private room for 2 (picture included), as well as a single bed in the female dorm (for my sister-in-law). We all opted for the Japanese breakfast each day, which was prepared beautifully and was fantastic. Our room was on the lower level, right next to the mini workout area (a stationary bike, as well as some other machine), which had a massage chair. The massage chair was incredible, and much needed after a long day of hiking. We loved the private onsen with signups. They have a left (larger) and right (smaller) onsen which can be both be reserved in 40 minute increments using a signup on the main floor. Signups are for 16:00-22:30 (8 signups, 2 onsens, so 16 different reservations a day). The onsens can be used on a first come first served basis in the mornings as well. We also went to a local japanese restaurant near the bottom of the hill (not far from the bus stop) which was an incredible experience within a few minutes walking from the hotel.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Manager spoke english. I told them i didnt eat pork and they made sure i didnt choose a food option with pork hidden in it. I LOVED that they had a private onsen since i have a tattoo and i wasnt sure if those are allowed in public onsens.

Wonderful stay. Rooms lovely. Onsen was absolutely delightful, especially having a private time booked for the room. Staff were extremely friendly and one woman in particular helped us out with planning our day helped drive us around. The food was delicious. Absolutely first rate service

Absolutely the best
The stay was absolutely amazing! Very kind and warm owner and staff. The facility was super nice and clean with beautiful Japanese garden which the owner designed and maintains. We even had a view of Mt. Fuji. This hotel and its staff made our trip very memorable. We won’t stay anywhere else when we come back to Hakone!

All the Asante Inn staff were very friendly and helpful. Having meals available in the dining room/common room was wonderful after big days of travel and exploring. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Nice Onsen and friendly staff, we also liked the common area as well as the garden. However, our room was located in the basement next to the Onsen, which led to some noise.

Endroit presque parfait! Le bain privé est très agréable, la cuisine est un excellent rapport qualité prix, la chambre Japonaise est spacieuse. Les employés sont très accomodants. Il y a même une navette jusqu'à la gare de Gora le matin. Le seul défaut est l'emplacement. Mais il est très facile de s'adapter avec le système d'autobus. Il y a un arrêt pas trop loin (attention au dénivelé)

庭師がオーナーさんと言う事で、京都の様な風情のお庭があります。宿泊客集いのスペースには、素敵な薪のストーブがあり、その炎をゆらゆら見ていると、心が癒されます。従業員の方々は皆さんフレンドリーで、形式を重んじるホテルとは違い、お友達のお家に遊びに行く気分でいられます!又、お世話になりたいと思います。
