To Every Guest About to Step into Hotel Uketamo:

Amid the bustle of the city, we have created a sanctuary where you can find rest for both body and mind, named Hotel Uketamo.
“Uketamo” draws inspiration from the wisdom of Japan’s Yamabushi, meaning to open your heart and embrace all things. Yamabushi believe that nature is the greatest teacher: the changing of the seasons, the sound of wind passing through ancient cedar trees, and the rhythms of farming passed down through generations all remind us how to remain humble and how to live in harmony with the world. This spirit has become the foundation of our vision for Hotel Uketamo.

A Cross-Cultural Dialogue of the Soul

The birth of Hotel Uketamo was inspired by my profound experience at the Three Sacred Mountains of Dewa. The first time I entered the ancient cedar forest, watching the light and shadows shift and hearing the wind move through the treetops, I understood the true meaning of “nature is the greatest teacher.” This is not a romantic longing to escape reality, but a wisdom that encourages us to reconsider the priorities of our lives. In the Yamabushi tradition, pilgrimage is not about leaving the world behind, but about returning to it with greater clarity. This is precisely the experience I hope to create for those of you living in the city and striving to find balance in life.

Cultural Dialogue Within the Space

Upon entering Hotel Uketamo, you will be greeted by a precious tapestry woven by Yamagata Dantsu Kaisha. Its patterns document the journeys of generations of pilgrims crossing sacred mountains in pursuit of inner transformation, with every color capturing a moment of dialogue between people and nature. Although Taiwan and Yamagata are separated by thousands of miles, we share a deep reverence for nature and a profound appreciation for tradition. This cross-cultural resonance is the sentiment that Hotel Uketamo hopes to share with every traveler.
