Relax & Unwind With Us
Enjoy Our New Treatments
We 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.
Shinrin-Yoku Package
Treetop Sauna
An advantage of our Rapid Internal Heating System is that it can increase your endurance and strengthen your immune system. While other saunas may take 10 – 15 minutes to work up a sweat, when you step into our sauna, you will begin to sweat almost immediately. A rapidly heating sauna simulates the effect of working out because it increases your internal body temperature at a similar rate. Not only does this increase your heat tolerance, which leads to improved athletic performance, it also stimulates your immune system, which can make it better at fighting off infections and disease. Complete your detoxification ritual with our Senjo Exfoliation for maximum benefits.
The Savasana Room
Who says you shouldn't have it all?
Rich cocoa, sake, Japanese beer or maybe a bottle of Vinho Verde with just a hint of effervescence to celebrate the holidays, life, and the joy of soaking in a private salt tub in the woods.

Shinrin Yoku
Special Group Experience in The Sanctuary
We all know how good being in nature can make us feel. The sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the fresh, clean air – being in nature can restore our mood and rejuvenate us. Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) is our signature group experience for up to 15 guests. Bathe in the forest atmosphere and connect with your senses for a unique and memorable special event.
Senjo Exfoliation
This post-soak, outdoor salt self-scrub with deliciously abrasive Korean scrub mittens will give you that full-body glow! What better time to exfoliate you and your partner than after skin already softened by the salt hydrotherapy tub? Feel refreshed and invigorated in the soft mountain air.

Dear Fans and Guests of Shoji Spa,
As you may know, Asheville has endured significant damage from the recent hurricane and most of Asheville and the infrastructure is not yet operating.
We promise to keep you updated and reach out to reschedule all of your spa appointments as soon as we can.
The status of the spa is excellent. But the roads up are inaccessible. We cannot open until we have the power back on at the spa, but know that we are working as best we can to return to being your tranquil escape!
Our hearts go out to anyone who has been affected by the devastation. If you would like to support our staff please consider donating to our GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-shoji-spa-employees-recovery 
Thank you for your patience
Roberta Jordan, owner
