Yes, you can take pictures in teamLab exhibitions. Photography is encouraged, but flash, tripods, and selfie sticks are usually prohibited to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all visitors.
In teamLab Planets, you'll be asked to remove your shoes for certain sections, so wearing socks is a good idea. For teamLab Borderless, shoes are generally worn throughout the exhibit, but comfortable footwear is recommended as you'll be on your feet for an extended period.
teamLab Borderless is a vast, interactive digital art museum where art installations flow into one another and interact with the visitors, creating an endless, borderless world. teamLab Planets is a more body-immersive exhibition where visitors walk through water and interact with installations in a more tactile, physical way. The themes and experiences of the two exhibitions are distinct, with Planets being more focused on the body and Borderless on the concept of a boundary-less world.
teamLab Borderless is housed in a 10,000-square-meter space in the Mori Building Digital Art Museum, making it one of the largest digital art museums in the world. It features numerous interactive artworks spread across various rooms and spaces.
There is no strict time limit for how long you can stay at teamLab Borderless. Visitors are generally allowed to explore the exhibitions at their own pace. On average, visitors spend about 2 to 3 hours, but you can stay longer if you wish to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Traveler reviews
I am extremely impressed. Probably one of the best art exhibits I have been to in a long time. The changing rooms, the light floral scents that change with the themes, the colors, the play on perspectives, the comments on humanity... it was all extremely well done.
We spent about an hour and fifteen minutes here wandering around - its easy to forget where you have been and where you are going because the same rooms you have been in change over time.
The support staff are locates throughout the exhibit and are extremely helpful and knew English very fluently. They also were inobtrusive in the way they showed us how to interact with some of the exhibits (pro-tip in the main big room, trying touching the walls!).
10/10 if we were going to be in Tokyo longer we would 100% visit their other locations. Worth the price and time to see, especially if you like a modern take on what art can be.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We've visited several immersive digital art exhibitions before, but teamLab Tokyo was on an entirely different level. The creativity, attention to detail, and the way technology and art blend together were simply breathtaking.
Every room offered a unique experience, and we constantly found ourselves saying, "Wow!" It wasn't just something to look at—it was something to truly feel and become part of. The interactive elements made it enjoyable for both adults and children alike.
We've seen similar exhibitions around the world, but this one was by far the best. It's the kind of place you could visit again and again and still discover something new each time.
An unforgettable experience and an absolute must-visit when you're in Tokyo! ✨🎨🌸🇯🇵🌌
We visited teamLab Borderless last Friday, and it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The moment I stepped inside, I was amazed. Every room gave me a real "wow" feeling. Out of all the places I've visited in Tokyo, this has been my favorite experience so far.
One of the highlights was drawing our own sea animals and then watching them come to life and swim in the digital world. It was such a unique and interactive experience that made the visit even more memorable.
I would definitely visit again because there's so much to explore, and every space feels unique.
The only small downside is that selfie sticks aren't allowed, so it's a bit difficult to take lots of photos together. Other than that, everything was incredible and absolutely worth visiting. A must-visit place if you're in Tokyo!
Just wow. If you’re visiting Tokyo, you need to check out teamLab Borderless!
This is such a highly immersive digital art museum and truly an unforgettable experience. There are so many exhibits to walk through and explore, and each one feels completely different. The way the digital art moves, surrounds you, and blends into the space makes it feel endless and infinite, like the artwork has no boundaries.
Ending the visit with a cup of tea was also a really nice touch and made the whole experience even more memorable.
It was easy to access as well, located inside the building in the basement level of the shopping area. They also have free lockers available, which is super convenient for storing backpacks or bags while you explore.
Overall, this is a must-see experience in Tokyo and one of the coolest places we visited on our trip!
An interesting and unique experience overall. There are lots of PowerPoint-style presentations displayed on the walls, which gives the space a slightly unconventional and creative feel. The rooms are designed in different themes, making it feel a bit like an escape room experience as you explore and look for the best views.
The tea experience was also enjoyable, with many people around and a lively atmosphere that felt almost like a virtual or interactive world. Overall, it was a memorable and unusual place to visit.
