This place was amazing! I loved the theme. It’s a quiet, remote getaway and exactly what I needed. Ask for Steve. He worked out each and every knot and all of my achy muscles from my head to my toes. He has talented fingers.

Manager Shanon went above and beyond to accommodate us. There was mix up with the scheduling due to system being down. Shanon made me forget how the associate tried to dismiss me by making sure we were serviced properly. I traveled from SC for a surprise birthday retreat. Elizabeth did a great job with full body massage, I highly recommend her! The private bath house was intimate and relaxing. I wish we had more time to experience all they have to offer. The experience was peaceful to say the least.

Jimmy and I are literally floating after our Shoji Japanese spa experience in the trees. I haven't felt this good in 30 years lol. After a fabulous jet powered soak in a private hot tub in the trees, (with a lovely tea and rice cookies served) cooling off in between with cold rain shower, a homemade orange blossom coconut scrub, followed by a phenomenal 60 min deep tissue massage (mine was by Alex- who was phenomenal, and should get a raise! - Jimmy had Ashley and he said she was perfect!. ) The BEST part of our vacation! Trea yourself to this AH-MAZING spaexperience!I love Asheville NC!!! ❤️

Incredible experience! Treated my partner & I to a day at Shoji for his birthday. Every single part was amazing! The staff are very kind and patient, no need to rush from service to service. Madeline and Steve handled our zen massage and it was amazing. I couldn’t say enough good things. I’d recommend at least a 90min tub soak to truly take advantage of all of the facilities.

Me and my husband went today and had a wonderful experience! We were in the salt tub for an hour followed by hour long massages. All the staff were so kind, helpful and made sure we knew what to expect and where to go. Highly recommend coming here! Will definitely come again.

Relaxing, peaceful, spa experience facing the private Blue Ridge Parkway Forest. The facility was clean, calm, and super professional providing all the amenities you needed to enjoy a remote spa experience with ease and comfort. We went in July, and the hot tub experience was relaxing and perfect. We got in and out as much as we wanted during our time and had full access to use any of the other facilities to include the sauna, outdoor showers to cool off, or any of the decks to lounge and meditate. After we recieced massages in a cool relaxing atmosphere in the top of the facility.Just a heads up, this place is close to Asheville but it feels remote and the drive up the mountain to get there is exactly that...a drive up a mountain. It might get a little tricky at points but it's worth it!We will be coming back!

Nice relaxing visit. We felt a bit awkward in the outdoor shower doing the exfoliation scrub, but it was still fun. You just have to hold a short chain to get the water to run which is difficult it you are short, and the oily salt scrub adds a level of difficulty.Nothing that can't be overcome with a sense of humor.

Absolutely one of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life, thank you Monica! I brought my girlfriend, my brother and his wife. All who said the same, BEST massage! I absolutely recommend this place. Very cool and Zen ambience. We did the package which included the hot tub for an hour and massage for an hour. Unfortunately they were doing some noisy work next to us which was a little disturbing but management made it right and I truly appreciate everyone there. If I ever go back to Asheville I will 100% go back to shoji and ask for Monica.

Beautiful peaceful facility. We were there on a hot day but the gorgeous trees surrounding the spa kept us cool. The staff was lovely— friendly and down to earth— and they explained everything so clearly. Wonderful massages after soaking in the tub for an hour and enjoying the shower and sauna. Erik was my masseur and he was terrific. I can’t wait to go back.

My wife and i had a delightfully memorable experience yesterday. The facility is unique, a mountain retreat look with a zen garden vibe. The staff is very helpful and caring and guides you through the process. Sanitation and hygiene is top notch. Having a designated area to change into provided robe and slippers is a nice touch.The skill, and attention we received for our massage was as good as it gets.A sauna and complete shower facility is nice to clean up before departing.We will go here every time we visit Asheville

Incredible spa option near Asheville. The service was wonderful and being surrounded by nature is a huge plus. Definitely worth it to do a soak prior to a massage!

Great time. My wife and I booked a soak and massage chairs. Going back I'd probably opt for an actual massage over the chairs or none at all, but overall experience was incredible. Such a unique place.

Enjoyed Shoji Spa very much! Only item of concern was the private tub soak was not very private as another couple just opened the door and tried to get in the same private outdoor tub as us. When we told them it was private they left and closed the door. So not sure if better directions for other visitors need to be provided or if better monitoring of hot tub areas need to be adjusted. Other than this everything was great. Thank you.

This is the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever experienced. My masseuse was able to pinpoint every single muscle in my neck, back, and arms with the precision of an expert and specialized therapist. Amazing!

Very relaxing. The environment of cliebtel workers is a bit stuffy. And it’s pretty pricey, but overall it’s worth the relaxation.

This was such an ejection out of the matrix. Staff greeted us with our totes that includes our robes, sandals & a towel. We were shown to the bathroom where we were required prior to our soak. Next we were shown how to access our private bath house. We went at the end of March & the temp was about 50 which I was weary of. Turns out, the colder weather was absolutely perfect. There's no way I'd do that in the warmer months. We soaked for 1 hour. The opening to nature was everything. Afterwards we did the massage chairs which again, I was weary of. But OMG. There are few times I've had such deep sleep & relaxation & this was one of those times. They offer an eye mask & ear plugs but we didn't need them. There was another couple who came in while we were there but I have no clue when they came. I was that relaxed. Afterwards, we laid on this bed where it was warmed. We laid under this weighted blanket and there was some sort of vibrating massage thing. We turned that off bc it really didn't do much. Heads up, it's very windy on the drive up the mountain & the road is really only meant for 1 car. Also, parking can be a bit of hassle but trust, once you're in there it's ALL worth it.

A top notch, great experience from beginning to end. My wife and I got the full experience and everything was clean, timely and excellent. We also spent the night in the House of Wind. The seemed to be fully staffed, everything was very clean and the massage therapists were great too. I can't say enough good things about the facilities, staff and experience.

Amazing lodge and spa services. We stayed at the House of Earth and it was clean with all the amenities. The shower was perfect and the view was gorgeous. We had a hot tub soak and couples massage. Both were so relaxing. The massage was one of the best I’ve had. I have been here before for a girls weekend and this weekend to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Loved each time I have been to Shoji!

Booked an outdoor tub for me and my boyfriend after a long trip, it was absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely nice and adhering to our needs. I would definitely return to Shoji, unfortunately in Charlotte there is no spa with private tubs. Asheville should be grateful they have such a unique experience so close to them! 🙂 Thank you to the team!

I booked "Michi (The Path)" package.They do not have lockers to place your personal belongings, so you will be carrying it with you. You are supplied a towel, sandals and a robe with a tote bag.For the salt hydrotherapy tub soak I highly recommend bringing a bottle of water to sip on!! I went in February, even though it was ~ 40 degrees I still had a great time and remained warm!I was skeptical of the massage chair ... but it was absolutely amazing!! I was completely relaxed and dozed off.The staff was very welcoming & pleasant - highly recommend!!!For this package I paid $198 + $39.6 (20% gratuity fee)

The staff are so nice and seemed to love what they do. The private outdoor hot tub had me worried since it was about 40 degrees and windy out. Let me tell you it was actually perfect! So warm that i would halfway get out at times. This was followed by the best massage of my life. My masseuse got kinks out of my back that I didn't even know I had. I will be coming back.

First visit at Shoji and will definitely not be my last. Booked a 60-minute soaking tub experience (beverage add-ons available) and enjoyed the additional amenities of the spa, including cold showers, sauna, and outdoor lounge. Soaking tub (#2) located along the lower pathway; did not hear any other parties/guests. Setting was beautifully secluded; couldn't have asked for a better reward after a week of hiking.

We had the best experience at Shoji Spa & Resort. We stayed two nights in the House of Earth and enjoyed the Buddha’s Best spa package. The accommodations were tranquil to say the least! Incredibly comfortable sleeping arrangements with everything we could need waiting for us in the room. The private tub soak was beyond relaxing, paired with the awasu massage (BOOK AMANDA, she was magical!), and finished off with quite the relaxing sensory experience in the shavasanah room. If you are looking for a relaxing, romantic weekend look no further than Shoji!

Shoji is such a hidden gem. The prices are incredibly reasonable and a soak is so much more affordable than pretty much any service from a traditional spa. It's a magical location and you cannot hear anything from the tubs. It feels so peaceful and secluded. This is always a treat.

What a wonderful retreat for finding healing and stillness amongst the mountains and fall foliage just outside downtown Asheville. We visited in late October for my birthday, and stayed in the Mother of Earth lodge (highly recommend) and enjoyed two tub soaks, a couple’s massage, and the savasana retreat across two days. All were awe inspiring and peaceful experiences, made even better by kind, calm, generous Shoji staff. The savasana retreat is a great add-on after a tub soak— those infrared and gemstone mats! Wow! And tub soaks (including the outdoor cold showers!) and massage are definite musts. Thanks, Shoji!

I go to a lot of spas, especially ones with soaking tubs. I would rate this one as average. The private tub itself was nice. Good sized tubs and private space, nice woodsy view. But it didn't feel very secluded. We were placed in one of the 2 private tubs near to the reception area which may have affected my experience. While it wasn't noisy with the bubbles on the tub running, you could hear people talking and moving around if you turned them off. When soaking, I sometimes just want silence and that wasn't really possible here. There were people sitting right outside our tub area, too, which did not make us feel secluded or private in our space. If you are lucky enough to get a tub space down the hill, I think the experience would be much better.The cold shower and hot sauna included in your experience are shared with the other tubs and we would have had to walk out of the tub area and across the reception area (with people sitting around waiting for their service) to get to them. Meaning we would have had to dry off+ put on robes to move between the areas which feels like a lot. it also just doesn't feel super spa like or relaxing to me to have to walk past the waiting area in my robe on repeat (I've been to places where each tub area has a private cold shower and private dry sauna.. now that is amazing!).We paid for a tub side tea service but it was never brought to us. They did refund our money for that service without any hassle and apologized, but we were still sad to have missed this piece of the experience.Finally, we did a "salt scrub" service after our soak. I would not do this again as I didn't think it was worth the money. They give you a small plastic container of oily salt and one of soap and send you off to the showers on your own. We were not given any instructions - just motioned where to go. I was not totally sure how to apply it ... Do I get wet first? Apply to dry skin? Leave it on for a few minutes? etc. Some instruction would have been nice. Also, the showers there require that you pull down on a string to make them run. So you only have one hand to wipe off your oily-salt. It was not super relaxing.The biggest issue I found is the size of their bath/shower/locker rooms. It is entirely too small for the number of people coming and going and does not generate a relaxed, spa-like vibe. There are no lockers to store your items so you have to carry them around with you. There is only ONE bathroom/toilet for all guests and staff and only TWO showers (one shower area with a curtain forming it into two spaces) and TWO very small changing areas. The place was crowded and there was a line for the bathroom every time I was in there. I felt rushed to take a shower before my service instead of being able to enjoy it and felt rushed again getting dressed at the end.If I come back, I would probably opt just for a tub soak and come prepared to dress in my tub area at the end of my allotted time.

My wife and I went to Shoji for our anniversary and experienced the tubs and massages. Cain was my massage therapist and he was fantastic. He was informative, communicative, and professional. He listened to my needs and focused on the areas I asked him to, and because of that, it was the best massage I’ve ever had.

It was nice to relax with my partner here at Shoji. The staff was friendly and courteous and they took care to ensure they were taking all precautions with COVID-19. I highly recommend booking an experience here.

My massage therapist, Monica, was amazing. Her style puts you in a state of deep relaxation and she told me about some stretches to help my tight neck and shoulders. Ashley massaged my friend and helped relieve some of her chronic neck pain. The atmosphere was so relaxing and I felt safe due to the hygiene procedures at the salon. We also stayed at the resort and it was quiet, clean and a very Zen atmosphere.

I had been wanting to come here for a while. I couldn’t have made a better choice by choosing to come on my wedding anniversary weekend. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Me and my husband got one of the package deals. It seems it’s best to book a month in advance if you want a hand massage. We booked late and had to settle for the chair massage. The chairs literally massage you from head to toe. I honestly prefer a massage by a therapist ,but I will say our bodies seemed to find it relaxing because we both fell asleep in the chair. Our favorite part was probably relaxing in the hot tub. Looking forward to coming again during fall season. We truly enjoy our experience!

Lovely and super relaxing place! We visited the hot tub, the amazing chair massage & the Shavasana room. Nice way to spend an afternoon and let the stresses melt away!

Paradise. Up a country road into the thick of nature in our own tub house... my partner and I LOVED it! Sweet and friendly staff at the desk, super clean environment, loved that it had a relaxed vibe. We will be back next time we come to Asheville!

What a find! This spa is tucked away and absolutely beautiful. From the moment you arrive, everything about Shoji is peaceful and relaxing. The employees were all kind and helpful. The private hot tub was wonderful and my massage after was exactly what I needed after a week of hiking. I highly recommend making an appointment here.
