I'd like somewhere with traditional buildings and such, along with onsen, and preferably a cooler climate (or at least not swamps or sea-level). People have suggested Nikko which looks beautiful, but I'm wondering if it is too tourist-centered now and it won't be a 'real' experience? I don't want a bunch of foreigners around and hawkers running up to me and such.
Thanks for any suggestions,

How about Nagano?
Shinkansen -> Asama
traditional buildings -> Zenkoji
onsen -> plenty
cooler climate -> Central Highlands
