Japanese Spa Experience at Shoji Spa Asheville

This is one of the best peaceful and relaxing locations I have ever been to in the United States during my travels. The staff were exceptional, and the scenery of nature was one of a kind. Recommendation is to bring a significant other, or friend to enjoy the peaceful relaxation at the spa. A small group can be entertaining when one wants to get away from the urban life. Money well spent and the trip to go here was definitely worth it.

The spa was worth every penny. We did the Renai package and were pampered and relaxed from start to finish. The location is so beautiful and quiet, and the private tubs were intimate, relaxing, and we had fun!!! They also have cold showers and towels to cool off, so it’s still enjoyable in summer months. The best massage I’ve ever had!

Let me preface by saying, I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews lately. My fiance and I came to Shoji today, the day before our wedding, for a nice, relaxing break. We booked the Nihon package, which includes a 60 minute soak in a private hot tub and then a 90 minute full body massage. From the moment we got there, we were met by a wonderful groundskeeper and kind front desk staff. We also added on a package to get a bottle of prosecco and chocolate, which was delightful. The hot tub was clean, secluded, and peaceful. Then, after our time in the hot tub was up, it was time to get ready for our massages. Erik and Elisabeth met us and talked us through the process, making sure all questions and concerns were answered and resolved. They both did an amazing job and when the time was up, we were still wanting more! Overall, we had a lovely experience and would most definitely come back again! Thank you Shoji staff for helping us de-stress before our wedding day! 💛

This spa is so beautiful and relaxing. It is so inspiring to be out in nature. I went about 15 years ago, and this recent visit is only my second trip. I now plan on making this an annual event, as I am often visiting in Asheville. I chose a solo retreat for my birthday weekend. It was so rejuvenating and peaceful to be alone and really relax. I indulged in an hour tub soak and ordered a tea tray. This little extra was totally worth it and the tea was delicious and presented so prettily. Afterwards, I enjoyed the salt exfoliating scrub in the outdoor shower and then had a 60 minute deep tissue massage. They also have a sauna that you can utilize just for being on premises, and I took advantage of that while drying off before my massage. Their facilities are top notch, staff is wonderful, and the property is gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend. I can't wait to go back! 💕

My husband and I did the 1 hour salt water tub experience and I was blown away with the service! The whole thing felt luxurious from start to finish. We were welcome upon arrival and given robes and shoes to change into. Their bathroom/changing room was spotless and very high end. After that we were able to order drinks for our soak and then shown to our private tub area. In addition to the tub, we had access to a sauna, cold water shower, and the most refreshing frozen, cucumber/mint towels to use to cool off. I have been wanting to go here for years and it did not disappoint!
