We stayed two nights at Hotel Keyforest Hokuto and really enjoyed our stay. Designed by architect Atsushi Kitagawara, the building is striking and ultramodern, made of concrete and glass, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Inside, everything is western in style with wood floors and clean, minimal design — no tatami mats or sliding doors. Our room was very spacious with two large single beds, a sitting area, a closet, and a big balcony with lounge chairs. The bathroom had a large glass-enclosed bathtub with a view of the trees, a separate shower, and a separate WC. Everything felt modern, stylish, and exceptionally clean.
Breakfast is served either in the lounge or in the room. It is a fixed set menu combining Japanese and Western elements — croissants, yogurt, fruit, salad, soup, and a freshly made omelet, plus juice and coffee or tea. The food was fresh and of good quality, though it was the same on both mornings.
Dinner is served at the neighboring steakhouse operated by the same owner. Guests with half board enjoy a four-course menu of very good quality, mainly focused on steak, which was perfectly prepared. A pescatarian option is available upon request. The atmosphere is rustic, steakhouse-style, and the service was friendly and attentive. It was also convenient to simply walk across from the hotel.
Our personal highlight was the private onsen in the forest. It can be reserved for 60 minutes and offers two large open-air baths surrounded by trees. The natural hot spring water felt wonderful and relaxing, and soaking under the night sky was an unforgettable experience.
Coffee is not a strong point of the hotel. There is no coffee machine in the room, only drip coffee bags with a cocoa aroma, and the coffee served at breakfast and as a welcome drink was rather weak. The whisky bar displays an impressive collection, but the actual drinks available are limited and not as outstanding as one might expect from the display. Lastly, the motion sensor in the toilet area automatically activates light and music at night, which we did not manage to turn off and found a bit disruptive.
Overall, Hotel Keyforest Hokuto is a remarkable design hotel in a quiet rural area, offering spacious rooms, excellent service, and a truly unique private onsen experience.
