We took some time to chill at Taka-G with a busy schedule planned. Directions were easy to follow. Taka-G greatest us on arrival. Basic but just what we needed and the room had air-conditioning. We had a fab day at the beach. Taka-G was so kind and even dropped us off at the station. For a chill no frills stay, this is the place.

There is only AC in the bedroom but this is fine since the room gets to a very comfortable temperature easily.

Taka G is the best part of staying here. He is a super cool guy and fun to talk to. He even gave us a ride back to the train station. He also great gave great recommendations for food. I would definitely stay here again.

There are wasps in all of Wakayama, just a warning if anyone is allergic.

Relaxing stay, very cool owner, nice walk through the park to the beach. The locals are really lovely! The trains are beautifully decorated - so much whimsy! the local farming is wonderful to see. The area is really charming and delightful. We're foreigners, 2 women traveling - we felt really safe and welcome here. We're both alternative by general Japanese standard - I have Sak yant (Buddhist) tattoos, my friend has a shaved head. The owner was wonderful to us. Great guy. Absolutely recommended.

Taka G is such an incredible and kind host. We came here to escape the city, and we were able to relax and reset after many days of travel. Upon arrival he kindly offered to take us to the grocery store. He offers the use of his kitchen, hot tub, and sauna. The rooms have plenty of space. We were also able to ride his bikes to the beach. There is a beautiful surfing spot within walking distance from his place, where Taka G and many others go to surf everyday. This place is wonderful and relaxing, helping you to escape the rush of life. we will be excited to visit Taka G again on our next trip to Japan.

Everything was amazing.

Clean and spacious homestay with a super friendly and helpful owner. Just a few minutes walking distance from the beach and easily reachable by train. I’d live to come back.

Towels would be nice plus a couple of plates and knives for the kitchen. Otherwise we had everything we needed.

Taka G was so friendly and welcoming and even gave us a couple of rides is his classic 1962 Volkswagon bus. It was a fun place to stay, close to the beach and we even had a beautiful sauna.

The house is big and confortable, there is a wonderful jacuzzi and everything was perfect… but the real highlight is meeting and talking with the cool owner!!

It was very pleasant to stay at Surf Imin G-Sun. The room was very organized and clean. There is a charger, a lamp and a little fan for every bed. The quality of the accomodation/price ratio is very great. Takaji, the owner was fun and nice. We enjoyed our stay even if it was rainy. The beach, which is very close, is very fun and beautiful. There was a lot of people surfing there. Don’t hesitate to book, you will not regret it!

The owner was one of the nicest people I met in Japan, letting me borrow his bike to ride to the beach. The location and facilities are also perfect. Could not recommend more.

a very unique, lively place. a great owner! very unique gentleman. we went to surf together the following day. he missed my reservation request so was quite surprised and didn't want me to stay for another right I think :D but it's totally fine because he is a very colorful and unique person to accommodate in his place! Thanks sir!

I am quite sensitive to cigarette odors, which I could smell in the common areas (although no smoking was witnessed indoors).

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!

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!

The owner has a good energy and very respectful I guess to all kind of guest either you like to stay quiet or being friendly. I could see his good care for the comfort in every corner. I enjoyed his expression and I respect his transparency. Cool owner. Thank you for all kindness and openness.

We stayed here on our way to Koyasan, the final stop of the pilgrimage.(Shikoku 88temples) I am surprised that it is 3600 yen even if you stay with how many people. We stayed with our pet. Of course, the price will not change. Takaji, the owner, is the nicest person. This place is great if you want to communicate with the local. He also welcomes you even if you don't want it. You can use the sauna and the large jacuzzi. You can see the beautiful night sky in the room. If you want, you can enjoy a special experience beyond just staying.

The road leading in is a little narrow but manageable. Would recommend a smaller vehicle to get there unless you are like the locals and familiar with the area otherwise you might not be able to pass through certain narrow streets. There were some mosquitos on our first night but this was quickly resolved by providing us with mozzie repellant.

Value for money. There's a nearby train station that the host could pick us up. We drove there instead. The host G was very kind & communicated fairly well in English although he claimed that he wasn't very good. G made every effort to speak English with us which was really appreciated. We reciprocated with our very minimal Japanese. Place is clean. Lights turn on & off automatically, good effort in conserving energy and being green. Offered us a ride with his 1962 VW van to the nearby Matsugen supermarket to buy food for our BBQ dinner that we had together. G also also turned on the jacuzzi and sauna that evening. He enjoyed chatting with us about our overall stay in Japan, asking what we liked most about the country aka Most Impressive Place in this beautiful country.

I did not enjoy leaving ! ! ! ! !

I absolutely loved Surf Inn G-Sun the perfect end to a wonderful working holiday in Nippon :-) The owner was very helpful and we talked and laughed and was also driven to Wakayama castle for a half day trip before being personally dropped of at the train station

The location is a bit hard to find, it even took a while for the Taxi driver to figure out. Maybe the owner can add a detailed neighborhood map in the property description or photos.

It's a common Japanese family home, the owner was extremely friendly. The location is a bit hard to find, the owner waited at the main road to give directions to the Taxi. Mr. Taka G is very helpful in many ways, he shared as much info as he can to help us in our planning for the following few days. He even sent us to the train station via his cute VW van.

A man sitting there eagerly waiting for his guest. While he has no need for money and everything in his house is neat and clean. When you get there, it seems a bit strange at first, but as time goes by, you realize that everything is much more than expected.
