An immersive barefoot digital-art experience in Toyosu where you wade through water and mirrored infinity rooms. Tickets start around 3,800 yen, timed entry, open roughly 9:00-22:00. Expanded in 2026 and extended through 2027. Spectacular for photos, though it can feel more Instagram machine than art.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth the money?
For first-timers who love immersive, photogenic spaces, it's a genuine wow and hard to compare to anything else. Skeptics find it pricey and crowded for a 90-minute walk-through. If you go, embrace it as an experience and photo op, not a traditional museum.
What are the hours?
Generally open around 9:00-22:00 with last entry an hour before closing, though times vary by season and there are occasional maintenance closure days. Check the official calendar for your date, as it's one of the later-closing attractions in Tokyo.
How do I get there?
The closest stop is Shin-Toyosu on the driverless Yurikamome line, a one-minute walk from the entrance. Alternatively, Toyosu Station on the Yurakucho subway line is about a 10-minute walk. It's in the reclaimed bayside area near the Toyosu fish market.
teamLab Planets or teamLab Borderless?
Planets in Toyosu is the barefoot, water-based one; Borderless in Azabudai Hills is a larger, maze-like world without water. Both are separate tickets and locations. Planets is more physically interactive; Borderless is more sprawling. Fans do both, but one is plenty for most.
Do I really go barefoot and get wet?
Yes. Several installations involve wading through knee-deep water, so you go barefoot and roll up your trousers, or wear shorts. There are lockers and a place to rinse off. Skip the long skirts and bring or wear something easy to hike up.
How long does a visit take and is it accessible?
Budget about 1.5-2.5 hours including waits. The barefoot water course makes it difficult for wheelchair users and anyone with mobility issues; contact them ahead about accommodations. Photography is encouraged, so allow extra time in the mirror rooms everyone lingers in.
How much are tickets and do I need to book ahead?
Adult tickets start around 3,800 yen and are timed-entry, so book online in advance for your preferred slot. Weekends and holidays sell out, and walk-up availability is unreliable. Prices vary by date, with peak days costing more.
Is it good for kids?
Older kids usually love the water and lights, and the 2026 expansion added family-oriented areas like Athletic Forest and Future Park. Very young children may find some dark or watery rooms overwhelming. Strollers aren't practical inside given the water sections.
