What other travelers are saying about TeamLab Borderless
Really enjoyed it. I had gone to the Van Gogh interactive art museum and it’s very much like it with the exception of artwork. This is more tranquil and scenic. Love the waterfall, cherry blossom, koi fish, trees etc. we stoped by the lab tea(?) place and liked it also. Had to buy a tea for each seat. We had kids so they sat on our laps. Pricey but tasted good. The art is incorporated in the tea bowls. Beautiful overall. Should go at least once is my recommendation. Was relatively crowded. No steps but a few uneven grounds. Large space and walking distance.
Located inside a luxury mall like building, the Borderless museum houses great immersive art experiences for adults and children. The sketching lab was fun, the art we drew becomes part of moving art in that room , so cool! One of the open rooms had the most moving experience for me and my partner, it made us feel like we were inside an iMax movie , together with the music, it gave us goose bumps! Pictures and videos on web cam not ever translate the real experience! Good to know there are different types of team labs across Japan.
Booking experience: Easy from klook app. faced issues for booking from Team Labs website. Book 1-2 months in advance for morning slots. Slot availability may differ from website and klook.
Disclaimer: Some of the art experiences are not recommended if you feel dizzy with moving art, check website for more details
Duration: took us 3 hours
It has restrooms inside the museum too. There are lockers with keys before entrance, so you could explore the museum hands free too. Mobiles are allowed.
The staff spoke English and were helpful right from the entrance of the museum.
Requires reservations at least 1 to 2 days in advance. Large exhibit space with dynamic audio visual exhibits. Make sure to find and visit all the specialty exhibit rooms, they are much more impressive than the large general spaces and corridors. Can be done quickly.or slowly, there is no time limit once inside. Strangely enough there isn't a typical gift shop. Located inside a high end mall with limited dining facilities but there are a few coffee shops. Pictures are allowed but video is prohibited, though it isn't strictly enforced.
It's a different experience than Lab Planets in that it does not incorporate as many of your senses, but it is still a great exhibit. This is a better exhibit for those with mobility issues as it appears to offer accessibility for those in wheel chairs. The light sculpture is still down, but the other exhibits were cool. The En Tea House was a cool experience as well.
If you’re on the fence about doing the teamLab experience, just do it. The immersive experience is one-of-a-kind and there’s so much to see. Buy tickets in advance and be prepared to wait in line before your time to enter. There are lockers inside to hold your items which is nice for keeping your hands free to experience the art. The tea room at the end has a long wait time, but is very special. Projections of flowers sit on top of your drink and fall away as you sip. One could spend hours here. There are small children running around and many people filtering through, but it’s still pleasant and breathtaking.
