Japanese Spas NC Couples Massage - Day Spa - Asheville

It's as much a philosophy as an activity. First of all, no other culture in the world spends so much time bathing and enjoying the process as the Japanese. This is due in part to the natural thermal springs and volcanic geology.

Spa Resort AshevilleJapan has thousands of natural hot springs, bathhouses, spas and water treatments of all kinds. The Japanese make weekend trips, family excursions and find any excuse to enjoy these retreats for play, relaxation and romantic getaways.

Although usually tub temperatures are extremely hot, many spas offer varying temperatures. At Shoji we will do this in the hottest months of the year. You might want a cool tub to compliment your time in the sauna. After working up a good sweat in the sauna, try the daunting 'cold plunge', then return to your tub which will feel warm and very relaxing!

Bathing and Soaking in Asheville NC

Japanese Day Spa AshevilleThe Japanese philosophy first and foremost is the idea that bathing and soaking are two separate rituals.

The Japanese always bathe before they soak and never in the same water. Bathing occurs outside the tub. One washes and rinses completely before entering the tubs.

At Shoji we follow this tradition. You will be given a Yukata (a Japanese cotton robe) so that after your shower you can wear something clean and comfortable to your tub where you will sink in, drift off and enjoy the surounding nature.
