  1. Shirakawa, Japan
    Why it's cosy

    Tucked just a short walk from the thatched village of Shirakawa-go, this small, homely guesthouse offers tatami rooms with kotatsu, complimentary curry and rice, bread, milk and yogurt laid on by an attentive host, and a quietly convivial kitchen where guests tend to linger and chat, though do note the bathrooms are shared and, on at least one occasion, a staff member left guests feeling unwelcome.
