The threeplaces I have been to which really stuck in my mind were
1. Meotobuchi - this is a mountain resort not far from Hakone as far as I can remember. In the winter they have deep snow and you can sit outside in the water while the snow falls on you. There is also a naked mixed bathing hotel and spring resort if you fancy that sort of thing (that wasn't an invite by the way

)
2. Kagoshima - many many resorts here but I think the best are in the Ibusuki area. They are absolutely fabulous but also the price reflects this.
3. Nikko - up in the mountains again and lots of small resorts.

Near to Kagoshima I prefer Kirishima to Ibuski. The countryside is much prettier up there. Ibuski does have hot sand baths which are great though.

Sakurajima also has a nice outdoor onsen overlooking the sea. You have to wear yukata because its next to a Shinto shrine.
