Feel like this needs no intro since a lot of people aim to go to at least one teamLab if not multiple when they visit Japan. I'd say it's worth going to check out. Buy your tickets in advance and definitely aim for some of the earlier slots because we went at 9-9:30 which is the first time slot and it got significantly busier as the morning progressed. We spent about 1.5-2 hours inside and it was more than enough time to walk through the rooms and even double back to a couple favourites.
The light shows change within each room over time so sometimes you'll go back to the same room and it'll be different. The most popular one with a long line was definitely the aquarium room where you draw your own fish and it goes up on the wall so hit that room early. Some of the installations are interactive too, so they may react when you touch the walls.
Like any tourist attraction, be ready to deal with big crowds, people taking pictures for social media, and kids running around screaming and even though they explicitly tell you before you enter to please be mindful of your behaviour.
Also DEFINITELY recommend buying the tearoom ticket when you buy your entrance ticket, as it gets you entry into the tearoom as well as a drink. You can also pay extra for the ice cream we well which I was all really good, and the lights are interactive with the tea/ice cream.
They have a teamlabs app that will tell you the history of each art installation based on your location, which is neat if you like learning about them, but I doubt you will want to spend that much time staring at your phone here.
Cool experience overall! The only downside was the light sculpture exhibit was apparently down for maintenance while we were there, but there was still plenty to see.
Absolutely amazing. Must must see. I recommend booking a ticket in advance and planning 90 minutes to enjoy the entire experience without having to rush.
There are many different rooms and the themes change while you explore it. This means, even going back to rooms you’ve already visited earlier can be worth I’d. Don’t rush!
The music definitely also added to the atmosphere and there were even people sitting on the floor just soaking up the whole thing.
If you have small kids, you should be careful not to lose them. It’s quite dark and even for me it was easy to get lost.
Inside a shopping mall. Very warm but you'll get to store your bags in lockers for free. Highly recommend to buy tickets in advance and to plan at least 2 hours to spend in this venue. A variety of digital artworks on display and many small rooms to explore.
Go for the Bubble Room and the Crystal Room first as they are the most popular ones and also provide the best photos.
Best to go during non-peak hours, ie. After 5pm, for a better experience for photos. The lesser crowd really helps!
Loved the interactive sea animals drawing Room, there is a queue, probably about 20mins, but it was fun
Great exhibit, very well done, similar quality to teamlab planets. If you choose the very first time slot of the day, the crowds are less, because they don't limit how long you stay here for. Would recommend looking up the unofficial maps online, to make sure you don't miss anything! Did get more crowded over time, and wasn't as fun when it got busy.
Lots of free locker storage. Helpers here were great to give notices and warnings.
Amazing experience! Totally worth the hype.
**Tips for an even better visit:**
1) Book the first time slot: We went on a weekend and chose the earliest slot. It was perfect—no crowds, and we got plenty of great photos.
2) Head straight to the popular rooms: As soon as you enter, make a beeline for the Bubble Room and the rail-microscope-looking room. This gives you more time to enjoy these attractions before the crowd builds.
You’ll have to wander around since there is no maps provided with its borderless concept, but don’t stress. Focus on the must-see exhibits first, then explore the rest at your own pace.
Highly recommend visiting!
