An outdoor Japanese style hot tub retreat, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shoji Spa & Lodge is just 8-10 minutes from downtown Asheville, NC, a favorite vacation area for the sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and cultural explorers. We are Asheville's one and only hot tub day spa. The perfect romantic getaway in Asheville N.C.
Shoji's tubs can accommodate up to 6 people and they are also perfect for one (this way you can stretch out and float on your back!)
We welcome groups up to 30 people with hourly private hot tub rentals, a cold plunge, and dry cedar sauna. We offer our guests lots of extras including Japanese Yukatas (your robe is worn in all public areas, bathing suit is optional in private tub areas), sandals, towels, herbal soaps, shampoos, lockers, hair dryers, slate showers.
Your private tub is enclosed with Shoji sliding doors and bamboo walls on three sides tucked into a mountainside. The fourth side is open to the West with fabulous sunsets, cityscape, night sky views as well as views of the Pisgah National Forest which Shoji borders..
