Hokuto, City in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
Located among mountain ranges, Hokuto spans across 602 square kilometers of highlands and forests at the base of Mount Yatsugatake in northwestern Yamanashi Prefecture.
The formation of Hokuto occurred on November 1, 2004, through the consolidation of multiple towns and villages including Hakushu, Nagasaka, Sutama, Takane, Akeno, Mukawa, and Oizumi.
The municipality maintains international connections through sister city partnerships with Fukuroi in Shizuoka, Joetsu in Niigata, and Madison County in Kentucky, United States.
Transportation infrastructure includes the Central Japan Railway Company's Chuo Main Line and Koumi Line, with major road access via the Chuo Expressway and National Routes 20 and 141.
The municipality contains the Kiyosato Plateau, where the Kiyosato Seisen-ryo facility has provided accommodation and spa services in the highland environment for seven decades.
