While you can get a massage anywhere, Shoji Spa offers a unique experience. Their Nihon package combines the healing benefits of hydrotherapy and massage for the perfect spa day. It starts with a one hour soak in their salt hydrotherapy hot tub, to warm up and relax the body, and then you move on to either a 60 or 90 minute massage.

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.
