Speaking of nature, not a city setting, how about Karuizawa? About 1 hr. and 10 min. by Shinkansen from Tokyo. For lodging Karuizawa has:
Kyukaruizawa Kikyo, Curio Collection by Hilton
Karuizawa Marriott Hotel
The Prince Karuizawa
If you are going to be at Hokkaido, how about Niseko? Niseko is a ski resort but it is also nice nature setting away from the city during non-ski season. Niseko has:
Hilton Niseko Villege
The Westin Rusutsu Resort
Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono
