Japanese Spa Experience at Shoji Spa Asheville

Had such a damn good time here with my wife celebrating our anniversary. The tubs were so clean. Cold shower, a must. Set in the woods just makes it that much better. Chell “Shell” our host made the experience even better. Thank you so much for making the time spent there even more worth it. Truly a relaxing time! Would travel for this again in a heart beat!

Not sure why the negative reviews, this place is Amazing! It was difficult to book online but they do say to call so I just left a message and received a call back the next day. The signage made the place easy to find, short drive from downtown Asheville and we were warmly welcomed. Yes, it is in nature which made it amazing so if you’re not into nature then it’s not for you! Restrooms had everything you needed to get ready and we were given a tote with a robe, towel and slippers. For it being late June, there was a nice breeze and the sound of the birds and rustling leaves were so relaxing. There was a cold shower right next to the spa to cool off in between. We were brought to the upstairs of the lobby for our awesome massages! Highly recommend for complete relaxation 😊

My sister took me here for my birthday. This was an amazing and indulgent experience!!! Our massage therapists Erik and Courtney were exceptional!! The location and experience were so unique! I've been to many spas and this one tops the list. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Thank you for a perfect birthday!! Rachel and Sarah K.

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! 💕
