Night Museum Highlights

✔ On Night Museum dates, the hotel’s 1F Nakamura Whisky Saloon, normally open to hotel guests only, will be open to all visitors during these hours 🍸

Be sure to try the Cretan Martini 🫒 and the non-alcoholic Scented Apple Juice 🍎 — special cocktails created exclusively for the Kitagawara exhibition.

✔ The Nakamura Keith Haring Collection and Hotel Keyforest Hokuto, designed by Atsushi Kitagawara, reveal another layer of beauty at night. The irregular walls and windows, so carefully designed, come alive in silhouette. Enjoy the architectural beauty of the evening.
