At Shoji Spa, their relaxing experience centers around the benefits of hydrotherapy in their private Japanese inspired hot tubs. Each tub is in a private tub house that has three walls and a locking door for privacy. The fourth wall is open to the national forest.

They are an unpretentious and unique destination spa nestled on a mountainside minutes from the vibrancy of downtown Asheville. Along with traditional Japanese bathing and soaking, in completely private outdoor salt tubs, guests enjoy spa-style showers, first-class massage therapy, nature setting and sounds, locally sourced spa products – including CBD salves, local, handcrafted signature soaps, apparel, totes and more. Guests don a Japanese Yukata (cotton robe) and sandals before retiring to their private hot tub overlooking the National Forest.

While other saunas may take 10 – 15 minutes to work up a sweat, when you step into their sauna, you will begin to sweat almost immediately.
