From Tobu-Asakusa in Tokyo take the Tobu line to Tobu-Nikko. The 7.10 train will get you to Nikko at 9.15. Then take a bus from opposite the station to Nikko-Yumoto (at 9.24), which will take 1.5 hours.
It's best to stay one night in Yumoto Onsen to be able to enjoy the area without rushing back to Tokyo.
From Yumoto Onsen find the trai which climbs up to the highway from behind the village (where you can see the hot springs), then cross the highway, and hike along the valley beyond. This trail will take you up to a pass, then down into another valley leading to two lakes, Karikomi-ko and Kirikomi-ko. Past there you will see a road up ahead, which you will need to cimb up to. Turn right on the road, then immediately take a trail off to the right, which will then descend into the valey beyond, leading down towards Kotoku Onsen, where you will find a hotel. (In winter they have XC skiing). There is a bus stop here with departures for both Yumoto Onsen and Nikko.
