It was so good 😊 for us Sanga is our first experience of Ryokan and we literally knew about all of this only in theory. The place, the room, the staff, ooooh the food - amazing! We liked it a lot. Also we had the opportunity to make a reservation to private bath on the evening and there were fireflies ✨ so about "technical" information: 1) I have tattoos - no problem for me in the Ryokan, in outdoor bath I went in the morning before check out and I was alone, but before this I asked staff if I can go, and they said it's okay. 2) room with toilet, no shower/bath obviously. Shower in area with the indoor bath. 3) in the room was balcony with two sinks - 1 in the "kitchen" zone, and another for washing. 4) when you check you will be asked about time of your dinner (exact time!) and breakfast, also about transport for your departure - if it bus, ask staff to make a reservation for you. we didn't ask and had a stress with entering the bus to Fukuoka. 5) Sanga is very faaaaar from bus stop - 30-40 min by walking, if you have any luggage, I recommend to ask a shuttle from Sanga, it's free. 6) if you arrive after 3 pm in kurokawa, better to walk in the village before going to Sanga because all shops will be closed to 4 or 5 pm, but it can leave you a less reservation times for private bath.
