Sounds like an intense iteneary.

A visit to Jigokudani (hell valley) is a must.  The spas are not too much to
speak of,
though, unless you are staying at Korakukan which is in the mountains.

Lovely...

You should see some beautiful foliage everywhere.  THere will be snow in the
mountains in the Alps.

Enjoy.
