My husband and I went here on our honeymoon to do the Nihon for two. It was an amazing experience. We did a tub soak and then got massages. They brought us tea and checked in on us. The staff was amazing. The views were stunning! It is literally in the middle of the woods but it’s perfect. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Amanda and Marta did our massages and they were so thorough and kind. Definitely recommend Shoji!

Beautiful atmosphere! The front desk people were very friendly, although I wish they would’ve showed us how to use the showers and maybe take each group in privately, but that may be just the way they do things. Enjoyed the sauna, a cold shower, and soaking in the tub. Our massage therapists were fantastic!! I’ve had a lot of massages in my life.. and just amazing! I wish we could’ve stayed on the property! I highly recommend this place for a pampering getaway!

I am a repeat customer and huge fan of Shoji! My girlfriends and I love to get together once a year and pamper ourselves here by soaking in the outdoor tubs and sipping tea. I highly recommend Shoji to anyone looking to be good to themselves, get away from it all, and relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air + enjoying a spa treatment! Five stars!

We had a wonderful time at Shoji. It was tranquil and beautiful. The staff treat you like royalty. Facilities are clean and there are thoughtful touches all throughout, including the (slightly scary and steep) way up the hill.I was a little nervous based on some of the reviews. Some comments about the locker room aren’t wrong. It’s very small but I came early to my appointment and had no issues. Although, the shower was too fancy and confusing to use at first! I had a lovely experience and I’m sure you will too!

Great solo experience. I only did a 90 minute hot tub soak and a savasana session but it was so relaxing and I left the spa feeling great. 90 minutes was perfect for the hot tub soak and ordering the herbal tea and Japanese crackers made the experience even better. The savasana session was so peaceful that I fell asleep within minutes. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to relax for a few hours.

Loved our full day at the spa. The soaking tubs were the perfect way to begin before the 60 min massage. Eric and Becca did an amazing job of getting the knots out of tights muscles. The infrared heating pads and quiet time were the perfect transition to the infrared tree top sauna and lounge area. The weather was amazing! The final Himalayan salt scrub session under the trees was the best finale and left us super soft and truly relaxed. Highly recommend!

Very cute place! Small lot bc it’s up a mountain but had no issues. Service was fantastic. Hot tub soak and massage. Can’t wait to go back and get another package.
I absolutely LOVED soji. It was relaxing and rejuvenating, the ambience was unique and inviting. It was an experience I’ll remember forever. Amanda was my massage therapist today and made the experience even better than it already was. I’ve had quite a few massages and she is the best I’ve gone to thus far. I will definitely go back.

It was absolutely AMAZING! I went on a pretty hot day so I was a little worried but getting in and out of the tub was so comforting and soothing and luckily it was breezy and beautiful. Will definitely be back. As a local, I’m glad to have such a beautiful hidden treasure so close by. Highly recommend.
I am in love!!!!! Shoji Spa is amazing. I felt so welcome. I liked the privacy of the individual rooms. The hydrotherapy tub made my skin feel so supple, and I felt so...ZEN!!!

It was the perfect spa to end our trip! Private hot tub, exfoliating treatment and the final treatment with heated stones, weighted blanket, calm relaxing place. The road up to the spa was a bit tight, but well worth it.

We loved everything about Shoji: the location, the facilities, the staff. It was allpitch perfect. What a wonderful experience. As a matter of fact, it might be the best thing about Asheville and the only thing we would return for. I saw a couple less-than-stellar reviews, and it made me hesitate. So glad I ignored those. What a wonderful place. And what a wonderful day.

We stayed in the House of Wind in mid-June. Room was perfectly appointed with just enjoy supplies to be comfy - tea, oatmeal, the spa’s signature scented soap, shampoo, etc. Views from the room were beautiful, and it was exceptionally quiet at night. Staff were absolutely lovely, and went above and beyond! Only note is that the stairs to the room were steep and may be difficult for some to climb. Just an FYI, it did not impact our experience, and we would return in a heartbeat. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and about 15 minutes by car from downtown Asheville. Thanks, Shoji!

10 out of 10. We had the best time for my birthday. The staff is excellent and they usher you into a place of peace and relaxation.
I went for a couple’s massage and everything went perfect as expected. The jacuzzi was intimate and relaxing, as well as the massages (shout out to Ashley and Courtney! - both were friendly and made sure we were comfortable throughout our massage). Make sure to sign up your email for exclusive seasonal offers (we got a free bottle of white wine).

Quiet is required here so it's a special place rain or shine. Saunas available before and after very hot tubs under canopy of trees and bamboo. BEAUTUFUL natural surroundings. Tea served. Alternate Between cold shower and hot tub. An Asheville must do. The 1.15 hour soak is enough. A new beginning.

The setting for the spa is wonderful, nestled in the trees and one with the outdoors. Every part felt lovely (humid sauna, pool soak, infrared sauna) but we didn’t quite know what to expect and wish we had had a little more of an “itinerary” through the experiences or more explanation from the staff. Still, a very relaxing experience.

Absolutely amazing experience. We were on a baby moon and did a couples massage. Maternity massage was on point. I had Erik, guys specifically request Erik. Very legit… this was the best I ever had. Very cool vibe, we will be back.
My wife and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary here and it was so, so worth it. We hadn’t been back in 9 years and don’t know why it took us so long to come back. This is the BEST… the best spa we’ve ever been to and will probably ever go to.

Shoji is such an awesome spot, regardless of what type of spa treatment/service you prefer. If you're in the mood for just a hot tub soak, you'll be provided with a totally-enclosed (by physical and beautiful natural barriers) and private hot tub patio which sits on the mountain side. Provides a super serene, peaceful, and relaxing setting for an awesome soak. Hot/cold and sauna treatments are also provided right nearby.At our last visit, we booked a 1-hour massage, where I upgraded to a deep-tissue massage for a small fee. Steve gave me *literally* the best massage of my life. I always ask for super deep pressure, and I don't know how his hands didn't start cramping, but he was the first person to really dig into ALL of the deepest pressure points I've accumulated through work. For the past week, my back has felt better than it has for many years. We will 1000% be back again. Thank you guys so much!!

Very cool experience! We did an hour tub soak with tea and the exfoliating scrub. The tea was great and it was very cool to have a private tub area outdoors. Definitely get the exfoliating scrub! I do scrubs at home but this one made my skin feel extra soft.Keep in mind, the tubs are outdoors so there were bugs around.

Everyone, you all have to try this place/spa. An hour in your private hot tub with champagne, overlooking the treetops with a view of the Blue Ridge mountain is spectacular. Then, off to an hour couple's massage. The person who gave me my massage was fantastic. Very knowledgeable in the art of massage.

This place is such a gem. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We arrived about 20 minutes late, and they arranged our services so we could enjoy everything as planned. That massage chair had both of us in heaven. Lovely!! The only thing I didn’t like about my experience was there only being one restroom in the main lobby. There was a bit of a wait, and you feel rushed while going.

It is lovely… and I would have given three if it wasn’t for the absolutely amazing massage we got.A few notes.Pay close attention to the website when they say to not bring anything with you. There is NOWHERE to put your belongings. They provide a bag for you to carry your items with you. Which means if you want to use the sauna your things come in with you.For the price we were paying I was expecting a little nicer shower/changing room area. Very little space to change and the showers aren’t really that private. (Only 2)The soak is beautiful and worth it. Careful where they place you if you enjoy being n*de. Where we were was in direct eyeshot of the forest balcony, which was thankfully not in use because of the cold.We didn’t have the energy to say something, but our tub had scum all around the edges and a few times I pulled someone else’s hair off of me…even though they say they clean the tubs.

Amazing relaxation with stunning views in the mountains! Went for a 90 minute hot tub session with friends and highly recommend. Very luxurious experience with well thought out robes and sandals upon arrival. We had delicious tea while hot tubbing in a secluded area overlooking the beautiful mountains. We also were able to enjoy the sauna and outdoor fire pit owner and even met the owner who built the spa 20 years ago! The only area for improvement is availability of gender inclusive spaces. Surprising that they had hair ties only in the women-identifying locker room and not mens. Still highly recommend!

You do have to be cautious on the narrow mountain road to come and go a.d parking is limited. Reservations advised. Very unique offering and I try to get in each time I am in the area.
Getting there can be a bit confusing. Follow the signs on the road. The spa experience was amazing. The only suggestion is that the bathroom is too small. Only 1 toilet and 2 shower stalls.
