Overview
Asante Inn gives you a relaxed Hakone stay in the quiet Miyagino area, close to Gora and surrounded by mountain scenery. The inn has a small, personal feel, with a Japanese garden designed by the owner, a lounge with a wood-burning stove, and a private hot spring bath that you reserve for your own use.
This is a good base when you want to explore Hakone without staying in a large hotel. You can visit museums, ride the Hakone Tozan Railway, spend time around Gora, or head toward Owakudani and Lake Ashi. After a day outside, you return to a simple inn where the focus stays on comfort, hot spring bathing, and an easy, friendly atmosphere.
Accommodation
Asante Inn offers a mix of Japanese-style rooms, Western-style rooms, a family room, and a women-only dormitory. The rooms feel simple and practical, with enough comfort for a short Hakone stay or a longer visit focused on sightseeing and onsen time.
The Japanese-style rooms give you tatami flooring, futon bedding, and a more traditional way to stay in Hakone. Some look toward the garden and include a private shower and toilet, while others use shared facilities. These rooms work well when you want a quiet space to rest after walking around Gora, Miyagino, or the wider Hakone area.
The family room gives you more space, with a living area and raised tatami section. It is a strong option when you travel with children or want extra room to spread out. The Western-style room gives you a bed-based stay, while the women-only dormitory suits you when you want a simple and budget-conscious Hakone stay with access to the same shared facilities and private onsen bath.
Rooms include essentials such as air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, towels, yukata, basic toiletries, and in-room drink facilities, depending on the room type. The overall style stays casual, clean, and easy to use rather than highly decorative.
Dining
Asante Inn keeps dining casual. The lounge counter serves drinks, light meals, and dinner items during evening hours, so you can stay in for a simple meal after sightseeing. Coffee, matcha latte, and other drinks are also available, making the lounge a comfortable place to take a break during your stay.
For more dining choices, the Miyagino and Gora areas offer local restaurants and cafés within reach. This setup works well when you want flexibility rather than a fixed ryokan meal schedule.
Onsen and Wellness
Asante Inn uses Kiga Onsen, one of Hakone’s historic hot spring sources. The bath is reservation-only and private, so you use the space without sharing it with others during your reserved time. This makes the onsen experience easy, especially after a full day of walking or sightseeing.
The spring water is an alkaline sodium chloride hot spring. It is clear and colorless, with a gentle feel and no strong smell. The water is associated with support for muscle pain, joint pain, fatigue recovery, cold sensitivity, cuts, and general health promotion.
Bath reservations are made at check-in. Evening bathing is available during set hours, and morning bathing may be arranged on request.
Guests with Tattoos
Asante Inn has reservation-only private hot spring baths, so you can use the bath privately with tattoos.
Facilities
Asante Inn has a garden-view lounge, a wood-burning stove, a drink and food counter, a Japanese garden, a terrace, private hot spring bathing, shared shower spaces, shared toilets for selected room types, a laundry area, a massage chair room, a souvenir corner, and parking.
The lounge is one of the most useful spaces during your stay. You can sit with a drink, look toward the garden, warm up by the stove in cooler seasons, or plan the next part of your Hakone trip. The terrace gives you another place to enjoy the garden when the weather is pleasant.
Activities
Asante Inn places you close to several of Hakone’s best-known sights. The Hakone Open-Air Museum, Gora Park, the Hakone Tozan Railway, and the Miyagino area are all easy to combine with a stay here. You can also travel onward to Owakudani, Hakone Shrine, Lake Ashi, the Venetian Glass Museum, the Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands, and the Old Tokaido Cedar Avenue.
This location suits you well when you want to mix art, nature, hot springs, and relaxed local walks. Spend the day exploring Hakone, then return for a private bath and a quieter evening at the inn.
