The place is called "Kappa Tengoku" ( http://www.japanhotel.net/kappa/onsen.htm ) and is in Yumoto-Hakone. I was really surprised and couldn't believe it at first.. and to add to the irony of the situation this episode let alone series (in my knowledge at least) hadn't started aring yet. But they must have done the shooting some months prior to when we were there...
was still kinda "chou guzen"  |
Here's a link to the information page that mizune posted:

I tried to look at the pictures but couldn't figure out if it was the place you were at.
(This is a fast way to learn the kanji for 'picture/photo' and 'map')  |
Well KuroRyu and loca.ash.jp agree that the onsen is in Yumoto, Hakone, just that the former Kappa Tengoku is at #777 and the latter Hotel Kajikaso (ホテル河鹿荘) at #688. From what I see on their English page the decor, view and all looks correct. The official website of the hotel also has a feature on their appearance in the drama, unfortunately in Japanese only:
http://www.kajikaso.co.jp/news/detail.html?C=8284
It's a pretty amusing and informative writeup. E.g. the room Yoshio and Shinobu stayed in was the 12.5-jo [-tatami mat] ordinary-size Japanese-style room No. 321. They tease Kita-san for holding back from getting one of the 15 even better rooms with open-air baths, probably because they were a couple greatly separated in age who had just met. Also "Kita-san swims in our 6th-floor open-air bath and 2nd-floor bathhouse!!" And they point out that that deluxe foot bath was just installed last October.
All that said, it's still pretty guzen, KuroRyu! Maybe Yoshio and Shinobu were hanging around the place when you were there.

Didn't take any pictures of the places you see in the episode (the lobby and the onsen, but I did take some pictures inside our room and out the window.

Even the rooms they stay in seem to be of two different decors and themes (not to mention sizes). There was a pretty huge "luxurious" hotel right in front of ours, very likely that it was Hotel Kajikaso. Still pretty cool info about the place Kita-san and Shinobu-chan stayed at  . |
Ah you're right there KuroRyu. I don't know how I missed this before, since their yukatas are obviously different  So Yoshio, Shinobu, and Yoshio's old teacher stayed at the Kajikaso, while everyone else - Heita, Katayama the hitman, Sugimoto the detective and his sidekick - was at the Kappa Tengoku. (There are a few inconsistencies in the drama though, like how Sugimoto was enjoying the Kajikaso's footbath.)
I guess the point of all this is, onsen tte ii desu ne.

yes I agree that there a few inconsistencies. They only used KT in the beginnnig of the episode, later on it must have at the Kajikaso (ie. the footbath). Wonder if they intended the Kajikaso and the KP to appear as the same place?
and I agree that onsen tte hontou ni ii desu nee.

However, they showed us this HUGE room that was used by the Queen and special guests which does have its own sit-down toilet.
