Just eight miles from downtown Asheville and Biltmore is the only Japanese-style bath house and spa on the East Coast. Shoji Spa is nestled in the Pisgah National Forest and is adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Soak in your own private outdoor salt hydrotherapy tub, add Shoji’s Signature tub side tea service and enjoy a variety of massage and spa services. Take an invigorating cold shower and unwind in the wet cedar sauna. It's an idyllic spot for getting away from it all with some well-deserved, therapeutic pampering. Doesn't that sound romantic?

Shoji Retreats

When you arrive, you’ll receive a robe, sandals and towels. Before your soak, enjoy a spa-style shower then be guided to your private tub house. Your spa pass (from $90/person per hour) includes the Japanese wet cedar sauna, warm blankets and double cold showers. The five private outdoor salt tubs are beneath the canopy of the national forest. Soak and soothe your spirits with the ancient art of hydrotherapy. Bathing or hot tub hydrotherapy has proven effective for centuries. Then, cool off in a double cold shower for contrast therapy. The therapeutic value of thermal water bathing and contrast therapy has been used in medical treatments for hundreds, if not thousands, of years all over the world.

Also, take advantage of their impressive staff of 20+ massage therapists at your service for a variety of spa treatments after your soak. They will create a custom experience to fit your likes and needs. They have several couples packages and offer seasonal specials.

Overnight Accommodations

After your soak and massage, why not just stay the night? Shoji Spa & Lodge has two lodging options.

House of Wind, featuring a raised living room overlooking the forest, is perfect for a romantic getaway or a personal retreat with its suite-style setting and king size bed.

House of Earth is nestled at the forest's edge and has a beautiful open floor plan. It has a private entrance, luxurious bathroom, and modern kitchenette.
