Hotel Uketamo is Taiwan’s first wellness-focused healing hotel and the fifth original brand created by the Forte Hotel Group.
The name “Uketamo” is a phonetic adaptation of the core philosophy of Japanese Yamabushi Shugendō — “Uketamo (承もう),” meaning “to accept everything.”
This idea resonates deeply with Laozi and Zhuangzi’s principle of “going with nature,” as well as Nietzsche’s concept of Amor Fati — the love of one’s fate.
By embracing every aspect of life, Uketamo, when read in reverse, echoes the idea of awakening — a moment of clarity where one lets go, settles into mindfulness, and attains inner calm.
Only with such clarity can the best decisions truly be made.
