The property features quiet street views and is 3.6 km from Kii Kimoto Castle Ruins and 4 km from Nakano Castle Ruins. The guest house has a hot tub and bicycle parking.

The host was really cool and we could tell he is a very welcoming and warm-hearted soul. We appreciated the cleanliness and organization of the place. We really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub that felt brand new. It is also a convenient 10-minute walk to the beach! The host took some memorable pictures of us, which we also really appreciate. This is a special place ran by a genuine, down-to-earth host. Thank you G-Sun for creating a lovely Wakayama experience!

It's very clean & good place to stay for Solo Travelers. They have Japanese style dorms equipped with a refrigerator, table chair & Aircon. Washroom is common but I found it always clean. They have a small kitchen where they have oven & electric cattle. The owner is very nice, humble, respectful & helpful. Before coming to hostel he also messaged me about one event happening at the same night. He itself traveled so he knows what a traveler actually need. They have charging points, a bed light & small locker inside the dorm cabin. So feel free to choose to stay here :) I came here for a day & stayed for 3 nights. Also the neighborhood has so many Japanese style bar so enjoy 😉

    Beautiful guesthouse in a converted apartment building. On the ground floor is a cafe, bar and communal area. You can get food, cake and the local craft beer here. The rooms are on the 4th and 5th floor of the building, but there is an elevator. There is secure luggage storage if you want to leave it before you check in or after you check out. The staff are friendly and speak English. They also provide detailed information about what is available in the local area, including a public bath that they can give you a discount ticket for.

    The hospitality of the host and the cleanliness made the stay a comfortable one. The hostel was a home for some decades, that tells by the interior structural set up but the host has turned it into comfortable hostel rooms and mindfully add quite some decorations along the hallways, public facilities and at least the big room we stayed. These give colours to it overall in a nice and decent way.

    A few stops by taking buses to the hotel, it's actually a walking distance for me if weather not hot and without luggage. Great location near Wakayama castle with castle night view. Warm and polite staff, spacious washroom, clean and quiet.

    I was travelling to visit Tomogashima Island near Kada and was having trouble finding accommodation for a reasonable price. Luckily, I was able to find Surf G-Inn which turned out to be a great experience. The host, Takaji, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. He gave me some great suggestions around the area and was kind enough to drop me off to the port for me to catch my ferry. The house was very clean and organised and was located in a nice, quiet part of town. Great experience!

    Very friendly English speaking host. The bed was okay. There were only 6 beds in the room. That was a quiet overnight stay.

    The staff! They were cheerful, polite, efficient, helpful (it seems they could anticipate one’s queries!) knowledgeable and patient. On-site laundry facilities - good to have especially when one is moving from city to city (travelling light with minimal clothing etc). It’s location is great for our purpose - though a little away from the main train station and city centre - of having some peace and quiet. It’s located right next to Wakayama Castle - nice walking paths.

    We surely struck gold with this guest house & its owners. They were so friendly, warm & welcoming. Also, they responded super fast. The space was very clean & the fact that we didn’t have to wash our dishes was very convenient. Check-in was flexible & we got detailed info/recommendations tailored to our needs. My only regret is that I didn’t book a longer stay. Upon revisiting Japan, Tsukiji Hostel will be on my itinerary for sure ✨✌️😎
