Has an onsen which every room could reserve once per day. Shuttle Service to Gora Station and breakfast(western or eastern style) could be setup the day before. Dinner was also available in the evening which is great when coming back late from hiking.

It's not really within walking distance to anything, and with everything closing at 6pm there wasnt much to do in the area; the overall experience was alright, but it felt more like a "ryokan themed" inn that was tailored for foreigners so we didnt get that authentic ryokan experience; it was a decent stay nonetheless, the private onsen was good.

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!

A wonderful stay
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.

Pros: Beautiful garden, pleasant friendly staff, morning shuttle to train station
Cons: Our room (double bed with shared bath) smelled musty with an old, uncomfortable mattress. Public bath water was not hot. Poor value- worst room I've had in long time, yet paid more than other lovely accommodations we had elsewhere in Japan.

Love Asante guest house
Great stay in this friendly guest house in Hakone. Recommended for the gardens, friendly atmosphere and private onsen experience. Lighting in the room was a bit harsh. Adding a bedside light would help.

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.

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

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.
