CUSTOMIZED PRIVATE TRAINING
Uketamo is an idea unique to the yamabushi of northern Japan about living a life of bravery and acceptance.
We wanted to provide individuals and small private groups the same opportunity to discover what the Dewa Sanzan yamabushi have known for millennia, without having to do more intense yamabushi training. So, we teamed up with local yamabushi and Zen masters to create the ultimate personalised Uketamo experience.

A Tailor-Made Pilgrimage to the Dewa Sanzan, Rooted in the Yamabushi Spirit of “Uketamo”

Take part in practices like Zen meditation, hiking, night walks, and intentional silence that connect you fully with the present moment

Anyone who feels drawn to this place or our training in some way, even if they can’t clearly explain why.
