teamLab’s digital art museums are among the most popular attractions in Tokyo: rooms of light, mirrors, flowers and water that react as you move through them. There are two in Tokyo — teamLab Planets and teamLab Borderless — and choosing between them (or doing both) is one of the most common planning questions.

How to book teamLab tickets
- Book on the official teamLab ticket site — entry is by timed ticket only, with no same-day walk-ups (source).
- Book early: 1–2 weeks ahead for regular weekdays; 3–4 weeks for weekends and holidays such as cherry blossom season, Golden Week and Obon.
- New dates are released on the 1st of each month, about two months ahead.
- Sold out? Authorised resellers sometimes still have tickets. Compare teamLab tickets.
What to wear at teamLab Planets
- You’ll be barefoot — shoes and bags go in free lockers.
- Wear trousers you can roll above the knee; in some rooms the water reaches knee height (source).
- Avoid skirts and dresses — several rooms have mirrored floors.
- Towels are provided after the water rooms.
At Borderless the floors are dry, but comfortable shoes help in the dark, sloped rooms.
How to get there
- teamLab Planets: about 1 minute from Shin-Toyosu Station (Yurikamome line), or 10 minutes’ walk from Toyosu Station (Tokyo Metro Yurakucho line); about 15 minutes by taxi from Tokyo Station (source).
- teamLab Borderless: at Azabudai Hills, near Kamiyacho Station (Tokyo Metro Hibiya line) — closer to central Tokyo.
Combine Planets with the Toyosu fish market area or an evening in Odaiba; Borderless pairs well with Roppongi and Tokyo Tower.
Tips for a great visit
- Go at opening or in the last slots for fewer people in your photos.
- Charge your phone — and keep it in a waterproof pouch at Planets.
- Kids love it: under-3s are free, and Planets’ fixed route is easy with children.
- Allow travel time: entry slots are strict.
Is teamLab worth it?
For most visitors, yes — it’s unlike any museum elsewhere, great on rainy days and fun at any age. If you only have three days in Tokyo, choose one: Planets for the water rooms and photos, Borderless for a longer, more exploratory visit.
