teamLab Borderless

#japantrip This museum is a must-see for any individual visiting Tokyo for the first time. I was astounded by the beauty and ambiance of this location. Photographs are insufficient in conveying the true essence of being there. Upon entering the museum, you are free to explore at your leisure. There is no prescribed route, so you must independently locate all of the rooms, which can be somewhat challenging. Additionally, the rooms undergo periodic changes, and some even allow for interaction, such as tactile engagement. Each room exudes a distinct ambiance, and the artwork is undeniably impressive. Every aspect of this museum is worth your investment of time and money. However, it is crucial to reserve your tickets in advance due to their rapid sell-out.

TeamLab Borderless is an immersive art experience where you get to explore a maze of rooms with lights, features and fun! As you wander from room to room, you never know what you will find next~ changing lights, colours and feeling like you're inside a video game. It's like you're inside a work of art. This place makes for incredible photo opportunities, so come along with a friend! 📸 #mytravelhacks #teamlab #localguides #familytrip #tokyo #tokyotrip #japan #japantrip

#thingstodo An interactive Digital Light Show Art Museum. Exhibits seem to be alive and they move freely from room to room. Many of the exhibits will interact with guests and change color and directions as they interact. Great for a family outing. Can spend hours here, well worth the price of admission. Note: advance tickets are required and have to purchased online. Tickets are only good for a given date and time selected at the time of purchase. An Incredible place that will challenge both your perceptions and senses.

#japantrip Very cool interactive art exhibit. It is a bit more difficult to find then we expected as it is in the basement of a shopping area, but a train line goes right by it. You need to buy tickets in advance, there were signs saying that day of tickets were sold out by noon. We stayed for about 2 hours, and could have easily stayed longer. The exhibits move around between the rooms, so sometimes it is nice to stay in one spot and let them move around you rather then moving to them. I did expect for there to be more to it, given the reviews that I read, but still had a wonderful time and would recommend.

#thingstodo Very fun and cool!!! I recommend bringing children here, there are lots of child friendly activities and some activities are only for children. If you time it right you can avoid waiting in long lines! I would skip the floating nest, it gave me motion sickness 🤣 Everything else is super cool. Definitely do a quick lap before you commit to waiting in a massive line. The active part is where the big balloons are! ✨ I think that the other one is more geared to adults. But both are probably great for anyone.

#japantrip Have you been to the new Mori Building Digital Art Museum: Teamlab Borderless, Teamlab in Tokyo? This fun spot just opened in February. You can easily spend 2-3 hours exploring all there is to see. Here are some tips to help you maximize your experience! 📌 Buy your tickets in advance This attraction regularly sells out, so make sure you secure your tickets in advance by getting them online. 📌 Arrive 30 minutes before opening The best way to beat the crowds is to get there early. It can get super crowded, so if you want a bit more space to explore the museum or are looking to get some photos without many people in them, go early. 📌 There is no map or key to follow You might find yourself wandering back into the same room twice, or continously discovering new rooms, because there is no key or map, the rooms and hallways are also constantly changing -- makes for a very interesting experience! 📌 Use the free lockers There are lockers at the entrance where you can leave your bags and coats. Because it’s an interactive museum you don’t want to have a bunch of things weighing you down, so leave them in the luggage room. 📌 Plan to visit the En Tea House This fun extra was totally worth it! Some of the drinks offered (most are around 600 yen) sold out by noon, so maybe plan to go early into your visit. 📌 Download the teamLab Borderless App Because it’s a museum without maps (or borders!), there are no fixed captions or explanations. The app will explain the artwork that is near you so that you have a better understanding of what you are viewing. 📌 Take your time – there’s no re-entry Once you are in, you’re in, so make sure you are ready to do all of your exploring. There is no restaurant or cafe besides the En Tea House, which only serves tea and ice cream. There are also bathrooms inside. 📌 Bring the kids! Our kids loved this place and enjoyed the interactive nature of each room. They especially enjoyed the ocean room where they had the opportunity to color a sea creature with pastel crayons and see their art on display afterward on the moving ocean wall🐟
