อสันเต้ อินน์ - โฮสเทล

Magnifique chambre japonaise avec vue sur le jardin et les montagnes. Onsen tres agréable après une longue journée de marche. Personnel très sympathique. Possibilité de dîner le soir dans la salle commune les bons petits plats préparés par le cuisinier. Nous avons passé un séjour très reposant.

The beds were comfortable, the food was fantastic. It is really close the transit.

Hidden Gem in Hakone — Don’t Sleep on It Asante Inn completely exceeded my expectations. The room was clean, cute, and beautifully organized, and the food was absolutely amazing. The private onsen was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, no crowds, just pure relaxation. Access is super easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout. This place is a must, especially if you are on a tight budget, incredible value for what you get. Highly recommend! 🌿♨️

This place is looking better in the pictures only. Property is not maintained well and place is below 1* for everything

A wonderful little gem, the friendliest staff of our whole trip. The rooms are nice, the communal eating/lounge area is wonderful, with big light windows onto the garden and with toasty woodburner and the food is delicious. Best Ramen I had in Japan! but the best bit is the onsen, which we used twice per day, such a relaxing and welcoming space

Family of four (with 8yo twins) stayed here in November 2025. It's a beautiful inn, comfortable and clean and quiet, with friendly staff and good food for breakfast and dinner. The bath is lovely -- staff help you book a time in the evening at check in, and it's available on a first come first served basis in the morning. Free shuttles up to Gora in the morning are also a bonus (although you'll have to get yourself to Asante in the afternoon/evening as they don't offer shuttles then). Overall a great experience.

Very nice and cozy hotel to relax. And their onsen was really good as you can book it for a private use.

Nice place, great stay.

This place is fantastic! The staff is super friendly, the food and drink on site is very good quality and extremely reasonably priced. Best of all, Onsen is so relaxing and wonderful. My family (including girls 10 and 12) loved our stay here. I’m not sure why this is called a hostel, that does a complete disservice to how incredible this place is. It’s more of a resort, but without the flashiness and price gouging. For instance, a beer here was actually cheaper than at the brewery itself and dinner was priced in line with what you’d get elsewhere in town. We loved doing the Hakone loop from the inn and used the free shuttle service to get to the Gora station to start with the cable car. We also really enjoyed the but kicker walk to coffee camp where their cappuccino and latte are just perfect.

The Asante Inn is a beautiful small property. The staff were very kind and helpful. They provided good meals for breakfast and dinner (added charge), with many options. The staff gave us a short tour of the property when we checked in. The gardens are beautiful and the onsen was easy to reserve and very nice as well. My only complaint is the pillows are quite hard but that is a personal preference. Overall, great experience.

Hébergement extrêmement bien tenu. Notre chambre était spacieuse, décoration est soignée et nous avons une très belle vue sur la montagne et sur le petit jardin zen. La salle de bain partagée est très propre (3 douches et 3 lavabos). Il est possible de prendre le petit-déjeuner et le dîner sur place. L'hébergement dispose aussi d'un Onsen qui peut être privatisé.

Its a little bit of a hike going to the inn so be aware not to bring big luggages. I did read the previous review and had only my overnight bag and that helps a lot. The inn itself is pretty clean, the staff were accomodating and I was able to book the private onsen. Its a nice place to relax after a long day of walking around hakone

It is placed in a quiet neighborhood which was nice, but a little far from convenience stores etc. I went by car, so there was no problem, they got Parking outside which was free. Everything was pretty good, staff was friendly, not a lot of guests which was nice, and the garden inside was insta worthy. Only thing was the shared bathroom, guess we can't do anything about that.

My family and I stayed here two nights just before Christmas. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The owner offers a shuttle bus during the morning hours to Gora Station, which is very helpful for getting to Hakone ropeway. Local restaurants were a bit unaccessible as it was off-season but this inn has its own great little restaurant kitchen. We had two dinners here and tried almost everything on the menu. It was all very good. There is a cozy common room for breakfast and dinner with a wood fire and a view of the mountains. The private onsen needs to be booked in advance but always had availability. I recommend an onsen visit in the late afternoon. Turn off the lights and soak while enjoying a gentle and soothing view into a private garden space. Great experience and highly recommend.Thanks Mr. Kobayashi

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.

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.

Very nice place

Loved the onsen! we drove to the property so no problem on accessibility, following google maps

Wonderful breakfast
