When you search for a real getaway to disconnect and relax, it pays to look for a place that feels like it could be your own; where the owners are waiting to greet you like family; where everywhere you turn there’s a spot for contemplation; where the food is so deliciously tasty that you want to take the cook home with you; where everything is so well thought-out you never want to leave.  A place you keep coming back to because you cannot find a match.

We chanced upon it on an aimless stroll in Odaiba, the futuristic cityscape in Tokyo. Its cargo-container structure resembling a checkerboard pattern struck me immediately, incongruous even in a port area. There was a massive photo hanging on the side, depicting a boy reading to an attentive elephant. My eyes roamed for additional clues until I glimpsed the sign, “Museum Entrance.” This was the site of the Nomadic Museum, the home of the soul-stirring photographic exhibit, Ashes and Snow.
