TeamLab Borderless was absolutely mind blowing. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by interactive digital art, lights and sounds that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Every room feels like a new discovery, and the way the artworks move and react to you is insane.
One of the highlights was the tea experience sitting down with a cup of tea while the digital artwork comes to life around (and even on) the tea itself was something really special. It felt calm, immersive and super unique, not like any normal café.
The staff were helpful, everything was well organised, and the ticket/entry process was smooth. I’d definitely recommend going in comfortable clothes and giving yourself plenty of time to explore, because you’ll want to wander, take photos and just take it all in.
Its an amazing experience! We were in awe by how beautiful each room was designed. Truly a must!
Apart from this we added the teahouse experience to this and it was amazing, not expensive at all and really nice to do overall.
We went on a weekday in the morning (9 oclock) to get there you have to sit in a very busy train. But it was nice when we were there and around 10 to 11 it begin to be more and more crowded. We were glad that we took the early time slot so we got to see teamlabs at its full potential.
This was a great experience! But be prepared to spend at least 2-3 hours inside exploring, taking it in, and appreciating the art. I also recommend going as early as possible. I bought tickets a bit late (aka 3 days before the day we were available) and only noon and after were available. I bought the 12-1230. I checked multiple times a day and it wasn’t until the night before that an 08-0830am slot opened up and I changed our reservation.
We got there around 0820 and there were already some people inside. It was nice and open for ~30-45min and after that, people started pouring in. It was still nice but some rooms started to get crowded. If you want nice pictures, go at opening time.
It was a fun experience walking around, discovering the rooms, and being mesmerized at the art. Some of the art changes after a few minutes so we revisited a few rooms. When we thought we were done, we discovered two more rooms. We spent around 3 hours in there. We only left because we got hungry. There were free lockers inside and umbrella locks.
There were rules posted about not running. But in one of the large rooms where you can sit, relax, and watch the art, there were a few kids running around through the people sitting down and yelling. It kind of ruined the immersive experience of that room. The workers didn’t do anything to stop them.
It’s less interactive than teamLab planets. But still equally a great experience in my opinion!
It’s a very nice exhibit. I found some of the projections a bit redundant.. many similar patterns… not different enough. Some rooms were more interactive. For example, in one room, you could colour some fish and they would project it swimming on the wall. One of my favourite parts is the En Tea House. You need to pay for your tea and the ice cream first and then they seat you. The projections show flowers blooming inside the teacup. It’s really lovely. I had prepaid for the tea when I bought my ticket but they charged me again… It was all a bit confusing in the dark so I didn’t have time to protest. They didn’t scan anyone’s ticket to see who had paid already. In all, it was a good experience.
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.
