I couldn't go due to the typhoon and requested a cancellation, but I was told that I could not receive a refund.I checked the accommodation site's terms and conditions and found that in the event of cancellation due to a disaster similar to a warning, I could request a full refund, so I applied for that as well, but it was rejected.I was looking forward to staying at this hotel, so I wanted to make a new reservation, but I'm disappointed.

Great for those who surf 🏄!Easy access to all beaches.Supermarket and convenience store are also nearby.It's convenient.5 minutes walk to the nearest beach.Take a shower as soon as you come back from surfing🚿It's comfortable, and there's also a stand where you can put your board.You can use the BBQ and kitchen in the garden.Recommended for long-term stays!

Absolutely loved our stay at Surf House Realista. We pretty much used every amenity they offered and it made our time in Kuroshio one of our favorite stops while in Japan.All of the gear they rent out it very nice, new (or kept like new) and clean. We rented surfboards, wet suites, and bikes and enjoyed exploring the waves and the town.We had breakfast at the house made every day and it was so delicious and wonderful to wake up to. I highly recommend the BBQ as it was very high quality and a fun experience.Ryuta, Ayumi, and their daughter Karin give off the most gentle and welcoming energy. We are so so happy we found this little piece of gold in Japan. We are absolutely hoping to be back on our next visit to Japan!Thank you to this sweet family for sharing your space with us. We will never forget our time spent at this beautiful house & town. - Ariel

We had an amazing stay at realista. It was game-changing to get away from the city and experience a slower, calmer, and absolutely stunning side of Shikoku, Japan.The town itself was fantastic, surprising amount of city-grade restaurants. The surf house is a 5-10 min walk from the beach and 10 mins from a conbini.I highly recommend the Japanese BBQ add-on option for a night for a fun, intimate, dinner in the courtyard. Also recommend renting bikes to bikes around the nearby park along the ocean and most importantly, go surfing. Rentals are available at the house.

The guesthouse is beautiful and clean. Breakfast is tasty eventhough it was a bit too little. You can rent a bike and ride to the mountain and along the beach, sooooo beautiful. I did a surf lesson with him, he was very kind and nice, but the problem is the language, he can't understand most of my questions. But it was a nice experience after all.

I really enjoyed my time here.I had previously been to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and wanted to get to know another Japan, far away from the metropolises. This is possible with the nice family from the Realista surf house.On good days you can surf very well. When there are no waves, you can rent bikes and explore the beautiful nature. On the last evening we also had a very tasty barbecue.The place is relatively quiet but with delicious restaurants that have good fish.I enjoyed the time and would make the same decision and live there again.

Thank you for helping me surf during Golden Week.The location was close to Ukifuchi, making it very convenient for surfing.Eating out and supermarkets are just a few minutes' drive away.It's hard to find the entrance to the parking lot at night, so I thought it would be helpful if there was a sign.The facility is a renovated old house, and the interior is clean and stylish, making it very comfortable.There was also a mini-kitchen that you could use freely, so you could spend your time as if you were in your own home.The owner came to me to discuss points and was very kind.I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
