onsen between nagoya and tokyo

Hi,

i have only a short 3 days, arriving at nagoya and departing from tokyo. Can you recommend a good onsen place that is along the way between nagoya and tokyo?

thanks

I recommend Hakone area, this is onsen and sightseeing combined. Another option is Shuzenji

Thanks,

think i will go hakone and if i am thinking of throwing in gotemba premium oulet, which is the most sensible way to travel?

Take the shinkansen from Nagoya to Odawara at the entrance to the Hakone area, spend one or two nights in Hakone and then continue on to Tokyo. Visit the outlet mall either in a side trip from Hakone or along your way from Hakone to Tokyo.

Dai Nagoya Onsen
About 20mins by public bus from JR Nagoya Stn. (there's a bus terminal there)
550yen entrance fee after 4pm and 850yen before that.
Take Neieki (名駅) 22, costs 220yen i think
Nakamura Juutaku bus stop (中村住宅).
The walking map is here http://www.dainagoyaonsen.com/img024.gif
The big red dot is the onsen.
The bus stop is the one in the top middle.
Opens everyday except mondays 9 am to 10 pm.

You can email them and reserve family use baths (貸切） in advance, but need to email in japanese.

thanks all for your help.

i have decided to go to hakone from nagoya. Was just checking out the train schedule, Realised that only the Hikari and Kodama that goes from nagoya to odawara does not start at 1027 in the morning and is very slow. is it possible for me to take the Nozomi train to Shin-Yokohama and then find my way back to Odawara? do not see any train services. thanks.
