Looking for recommendations for a smaller town to stay in for 2 nights roughly 1.5hrs out of Tokyo

Heading to Japan for 12 nights. We will spend 5 nights in Tokyo, 5 nights in Kyoto and are looking for a semi relaxing 2 night stay to end our trip. Looking for town recs rather than specific accommodation.

I have found a temple stay in Kiryu, or a private Onsen home in Hakone.

I was leaning towards the temple stay, however am struggling to find activities to do around Kiryu, thus feeling worried about wasting days in that location. However, I’m also concerned that Hakone might be a bit of a tourist trap?

Therefore looking for advice on which to pick, or other recs. Thanks everyone!

Side note: we will do day trips to Fuji, Enoshima Island, Osaka and Nara from our other locations. We are vegetarian and have many tattoos, so haven’t looked into onsen towns due to those limitations.
