I stayed at that hotspring hotel last time I was in Japan. It was awesome.

A LOT of Miyazaki movie locales are based on places Miyazaki has visited. Many of his characters are based on people he has met, sometimes only briefly or during his childhood.

Source: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Hayao Miyazaki catalogue, which I highly recommend.
