Exquisite six room hotel in the countryside. Shuttle will pick you up at the station if you are not driving. Quiet, calm - perfect to get away from the hub bub of Japan's big cities! It is a splurge but the rooms are huge and beautiful. There is a private hot spring for the use of guests only - it is outside and the water is truly mineral saturated. We went once before dinner and once in the evening which was magical. Breakfast is included - delicious and served in the bar area or in your room. There is a restaurant next door that is associated with the hotel - "western" themed because of the horse riding vibe and the food was delicious. And finally, the added bonus is the Keith Haring Museum beside the hotel - spectacular building and collection. All in all the Percy was to spend two nights to relax and recharge...which we did.

We were a bit off season so the roof deck was not set up and looked sad.

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were all very welcoming. I was disappointed to find out that the Keith Haring museum is currently closed for a new installation, and sensing my disappointment, the gentleman on reception kindly gave me a book to take home. The hotel itself oozes quality.

We had dinner at the associated restaurant and to be honest, the quality of food didn’t justify the prices being charged. My husband enjoyed his steak, but my lamb chops, and our prawn starter were both cooked a little more than we would have preferred; nothing to complain about, but if it were local we wouldn’t return.

This was an outstanding hotel.Absolutely luxurious. The staff were very attentive and even drove us to a local restaurant for dinner. The view from the roof top was amazing, could see Mt Fuji. We also really enjoyed the outside spa. The best place we have stayed in Japan so far.

Could not fault anything.

Stunning architecture and a beautiful property in Hokuto. The staff went over and beyond to make sure we were comfortable; they drove us to and from locations and even booked restaurants for us when requested. The breakfast was yum, the rooms were absolutely beautiful and the onsen was magical. It was a treat to be right next to the Keith Haring museum which was also fantastic.

The walks to surrounding areas can be quite far but that is just the infrastructure of Kobuchizawa. I do wish there was an in hotel cafe area and not just the whisky bar!

Truly great experience! The design of the hotel is beautiful and intriguing, the room is classy, spacious with bright opnings on nature. The private onsen is a fabulous experience (after 14 years in Japan), the diner was very good, the breakfast in the room was delicious.

Can't think of anything.

WONDERFUL!! People are so kind. Hot spring area was clean and organised. Room was clean, big and so pretty. We had most grateful time at HOTEL KEYFOREST HOKUTO during this trip.

Boutique, modern, spacious, open, with onsen available, entrance included to Keith Haring museum

Food perhaps could have elevated the stay, considering it is 5-star hotel. I personally like a more traditional Japanese styled food for my stay but I understand the stay itself is not traditional per say.

Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms with modern and stylish interior. Huge bed and very comfortable pyjamas. Staff were very kind and helpful. Dinner option A was plenty and delicious, breakfast was also very good and big! We really enjoyed the private onsen, especially the large cooler bath was perfect in summer!

Not a problem, but the road in front of the hotel was pretty busy in the morning and even though all rooms face the back, traffic was still noisy on the terrace.

Beautiful room, common space and grounds! Room amenities were fantastic and the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Such a lovely and peaceful place to stay. Loved the view of the mountains from the rooftop.

Great facility, clean, and very comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful. My family enjoyed the onsen as well.
