    We had a very enjoyable time here. My husband and I made use of the lovely area downstairs which turns into a small quiet bar at night. We had the best local Gin here which we ended up ordering on Amazon Japan to our last hotel to take home. Very cool design which I loved! Our teenage girl enjoyed the extra space downstairs for some computer time. A public bath next door which gave us an amazing local experience.

    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 ✨✌️😎

    "Find your Seeds" is the theme of this guesthouse and through my short stay I was able to encounter many new things from receiving local Wakayama recommendations from lovely hosts Takashi and Mari who made me feel very at home. Recommend to try out the local Ramen with Sushi!). I also enjoyed breakfast while chilling in the lounge surrounded by interesting books.
