teamlab Reviews

You have to wait about 30-45min to get in and inside at least two rooms has 20-60min wait. There should be rules, no kids under 10. Tickets should be with different times so not everyone can just come same time. And if there is a rule "no stopping, walk." IT means NO stopping and taking 45 selfies. People who doesnt follow rules should be thrown out.

This is an incredible display on a massive scale of digital art that is immersive and just fascinating to take part in. I was amazed. The entire museum is quite large. You move from section to section, each different, and many parts are interactive in that your presence will cause changes to what you see. Even though the place was very busy when I went, it was still easy to move around. This is well worth seeing.

Amazingly fun! We spent almost 5 hours inside playing, enjoying the exhibition, taking photos.
Crowed with people even on weekdays but really worth to visit!
Better buy the tickets online beforehand cause it might be sold out when you arrive there.
Large space and lockers for leaving personal stuff before entering.

This experience is so amazing and unique and I had so much fun. I bought my ticket online in advance and I arrived there around 12.00 hrs, it was a queue to enter but nothing terrible..on the other hand, inside there are rooms where you need to wait for about 30 minutes and you can t stay inside for a long time (just a couple of minutes, actually) because there are so many people waiting...that s pretty much a bummer. So, just be aware that you need to spend a lot of time inside to get to see everything...and enjoy even if its crowded because it worth it. I was absolutely mind blown, I think it s a must if you re in Tokyo.

The line was super long and it was super hot inside. They show the same stuff all over in several room making it look like there s a lot of stuff in the show

This is one of the most unique museums I've ever been to. Digital art, physical art, lights, sounds, etc. All your senses are engaged at teamLab Borderless and it's absolutely worth visiting if you're in town. Depending on the time of day and day of the week, there may be a long line to get in, so try to go during off-peak times. Once inside, have your phone or camera ready to capture a seemingly endless amount of awesome photos.

Simply the best and amazing. crazy scale with cool imgination. must watch

Wow amazing experience been here, so many rooms with different theme, the main tech here is all about lighting. They do a great job to create such art using light. Quite confusing moving to other room, because it's so dark there and no clue at all, just the room label. After all, we only need to enjoy the artwork

Great place must visit take time and watch all the shows

I loved how you can stay in the facility for as long as you want! It almost was like a maze. I recommend going as early as possible because of the long lines!

Very cool, beautiful immersive and connected exhibits.

teamLab Borderless is an utterly engrossing art display made to engage all five senses. Visitors will be treated to some of the most immersive and interactive experiences for a digital art exhibition of its kind. The sheer visual spectacle that lines practically every surface of the floor with some level of interactivity makes it stand out as a seamless package rather than a series of exhibits. Standouts include the zen-like tea house and the highly interactive Athletic Forest!

Nice and pretty but crowded. You can't take pictures like they advertise. Maps weren't provided so it was a big maze. Suggested time there would be 2- 3 hours with patients.

This exhibit was AMAZING! Super beautiful, creative, and exciting! Highly recommend to put this on your Tokyo itinerary. Make sure you put a least two to three hours aside for this place. So easy to lose time here looking at everything.

A huge disappointment. The works look so much better through the darker lenses of phones, so don t get fooled by the pictures online. Unlike most reviews here, my party and I were deeply disappointed by the old, blurry projections, stiff animations, long queues (approx. 30 min/larger room on a Wednesday), uninspired idea executions, and overcharged prices. If this would have been in the early 2000s or in a trendy hotel lobby - sure it would have been cool, but with seemingly no innovation or updates since Team Lab s launch this was, by far, the worst experience of our 10 day visit to Tokyo.

Spend so much time here taking photos, make sure to go early.

Awesome exhibition! The admission fee is a little high but definitely worth it. You experience the beautiful art through light and sound. Each section is different and something you ll never forget. I recommend this to everyone. I m not a fan of exhibitions but this is the exception.

The place for all people, adults and kids. For those who look for inspiration, those who want to have a fun Sunday, those who are interested in visual technology combined with experience.

After reading all the reviews on the long queue and waiting times, I bit the bullet and went earlier before the publicised opening time. Was one of the first ones there, managed to go to places were i was the only one in it, spent a maximum of 5 minutes queuing for the big room upstairs and spent more an a hour playing colouring in. Some of the artworks were somewhat lame, others were nicely done like the forest and the moving butterfly display. The tea house was a nice addition, but 500 yen was a bit too much. It was a good experience overall.

You would have never experienced anything like it! Incredible experience and definitely worth the ticket price. Beautiful art displays by manipulating light in unique and exciting ways. 10/10 must do when visiting Tokyo.

Too long spent waiting in lines. Concept and art were astonishing and brilliant. Would do it again, but preferred planets.

Loved the place we really enjoyed! But u will fully enjoy if u take the place whole day hahaha coz based in our experience 3hrs was not enough maybe of too many people coz twas holiday.. if u want take the place 3hrs u can come Tuesday to Thursday.. enjoy!

This was one of our favorite experiences in Tokyo. The lines are long (the entry line goes out and around the parking structure and even further down the street), but it moved quickly for us. Once inside, I was initially underwhelmed, but after exploring a little I was quickly blown away by some of the displays. Plan to spend time here so you can explore. There is no food, but there are break rooms with soft drink bending machines where you could have a snack you bring yourself. There is an entire floor with various interactive attractions for kids (and adults young at heart!). We were here for two hours and only left because we were all exhausted and hungry; otherwise I would have liked to stay longer. I would go again in a heartbeat.

What a museum? One of the coolest places in Tokyo. Loved this place. So many rooms. Trust me you need HOURS to get through it all. Legit an entire afternoon. It's super busy and you will most likely have to wait to get in. I think we waited like 30- 45 mins. But well worth it.

A place of wonder and sincerity. A must see and experience

Really well done and fun to go round. The queues for a couple of the rooms though can get a bit ridiculous. We waited 45 minutes for one and ran out of time to get in another so would recommend going right at the start of your timeslot.

This crazy thing will blow your mind and your pants off

Really great 3D LED installations in diff rooms set to music.

I m from the U.S. My son found this place during our visit to Tokyo. I enjoyed this new experience more than any others during our 10 days in Japan!

Great place to visit. Be prepared to wait to see certain rooms as it can get quite busy (up to 60 mins when I was there). I didn t enjoy the Floating Net which I waited 40 mins for... but that s just me, and art is objective so still 5 stars!

This was a pretty good time. I honestly would have rather spent a 2nd day at Disneyland or DisneySea. As lot of people mentioned the LED light room was pretty dope. Also it's pretty close to the giant Gundam so that's a plus

Only good if you like to take pictures for social media

The art and interactive media museum, with a plenty of light, illumination and installation. Very fascinated place, if you were coming around Odaiba, this is must visit place in Odaiba area. Ticket purchased in advanced is recommend. The space inside Borderless is a bit bigger than the Planets, there also a lot more of light installation, some of the room is the same. I recommend people who traveling with the kids to visit Borderless rather than Planets, the top level of the place is really for children, there are variety of activity to do so. Don t forget to visit the tea room inside the place. Please considering to spending time here, it s quite enjoyable and time consuming.

Loved it!

A really immersive artistic experience. Of course the gimmick is straight forward, that the artwork is projected into surfaces and is constantly moving and changing, but the immersive aspect really surprised me.

Many of the displays are semi-interactive, and certainly involve you in the pieces. The place is laid out like a bit of a maze with secret rooms and doors that aren't super obvious, so you can duck into a narrow doorway and find a whole installation you had no idea was there.

Some of them are so beautiful you literally just stop and stare. Luckily it's a big, big facility, so you can take all the time you like. You're allowed inside in groups but can take as long as you like once you're in there, and there's no set path or direction so you really can just get lost in it.

Experience may vary greatly, though, depending on how busy it is. The first hour I was in there was amazing, with not many people milling around and easy access to all the rooms and both floors. Once it started getting crowded, however, some of the doors started getting lines up to 50minutes long and I was just lucky I'd seen it already by that point. Maybe check the busier times and try to avoid them.

Super cool exhibit with many creative installations. This place is basically heaven for lifestyle IGers. I do recommend coming really early to get your shots without others in the background. The site says they opened at 10am but I was able to get in at 930am which made a huge difference in getting amazing shots with no one else in it.

Nice concept. Usually crowded on mornings up to 14:00. Several rooms with different atmospheres due to lighting, music and "illusion" like surroundings (light pendants and mirrors)

I had high expectations but didn't find it that Impressive. It's good though.

The works are absolutely mazing.

However, it is not an experience of art appreciation but instead a theme park.

The place is too crowded and noisy. Too many tourists busy with selfie and too many kids screaming and running around.

The signage is unclear and it is difficult to find your way.

It's a new and different digital art experience. Come early to avoid your fellow tourists.

The place is located on the 3rd floor walking through the Toyota building.

The whimsical art was enjoyable even if your hung over from to many chu-hi Strong's from the previous. I did get a little motion sickness in some rooms.

I would make sure you explore every inch of the place as it would be easy to miss some areas.

Don't want to spoil anything. Just explore and try to ignore all the people taking selfies.

Had a great time and really enjoyed the overall experience. Well set out and designed. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Really enjoyed it. Basically a very fancy light display with some interactivity.
We spend two hours there could have easily been more and we didn t get to see everything. All kids will love it

i had a good experience there. beautiful art. beautiful details and rooms. the staff is kinda stiff ya i wanna take some photos, i don't touch the lamps or something there like others visitors but they force me to move eventho the room is little bit empty. lol.

I had the time of my life there. It's like strolling in a magical enchanted forest.

Just absolutely mind blowing, no matter what do not miss the En Tea House.

Wonderful art museum!! You can spend half a day or more here.
I was so impressed by the creativity and the technology used to build TeamLab s art pieces. Sadly, I didn t get to go through every room, since there wasn t any map to guide me. So, be prepared to enjoy every room!

Waste of time and money I wish I had spent differently. First of all, the concept is innovative but protecting art of black walls is not that impressive. Not as interactive as advertised at all. In fact, couldn't interact with any art whatsoever. The entrance fee is expensive for what you get, considering you spend your time either standing in line to enter certain rooms or can't even enjoy the projections due to the crowds of people. If it is as crowded as it was when I went, on a weekday during off-season, you aren't able to see and enjoy a lot of the art because people block the view and you only see parts of it. A lot of people seem to be more interested in blocking the narrow walkways taking instagram pictures than enjoying the art itself. I am disappointed and wouldn't recommend. I should add that the line to even enter the museum was huge too. There are better places to see in Tokyo that don't show up oj the first page of google suggestions.

Absolutely fantastic experience. It was quite a wait even if you bought the tickets in advance but worth the wait. Amazing things to do for everyone- adults and kids alike. Skip the bird nest thing inside though if there s a long lineup which may take an hour wait. Not worth the wait.

The tickets were a little expensive but you don t have a time limit on how long you can spend here. The line for the Nest is too long usually for what it is, I don t recommend it unless the line is shorter than an hour wait. They have rooms upon rooms of different things and the longer you stay the more things change. You can color a picture and watch it come to life. This place is perfect for people of all ages, but only some is accessible for people in wheelchairs. There s a tea room, but no food is offered here so make sure you eat beforehand.

Words and pictures can't explain , must visit 1000%

Amazing experience. Worth to spend half
Day in this Borderless.

Amazing place and crazy busy so hard to get photos, with a decent sum of patience you can get really cool shots though.

Even if you don t want to take photos it s a great place to check out and the Gundam statue is nearby as well.

Fun exciting place with lots of rooms with interactive features

It s a next level experience.
You get to wait a bit cause they sell out really really fast.
But once inside it s multiple rooms with different vibes. If you re travelling and love art your definitely going to like it tho know that it s 30$(cnd).

This was an interesting place, but not my cup of tea. Children and young adults would love it. The digital art was top notch. It was difficult to navigate around; some area maps would have been helpful.

It's not at all like the pictures that the advertiser, the colors are much faded, and there are long queues even if you pre-order tickets. Nice concept, less workmanship.

A very disappointing experience. We planned to come from very far to see the exhibits here. The website said we may buy tickets at the counter, on the day. Later, without any warning or suggestion to pre-buy tickets, the website reported that the day s tickets were SOLD OUT! We weren t informed of this disaster of organization until we arrive- and it is FAR AWAY from the Tokyo city center...! We were not allowed in- there were no last minute tickets for situations like ours.
Meanwhile, we watched several Japanese people, with better communication skills, do (what looked like) purchase tickets, and enter!
Poorly organized and rude service.

Should be called "Who Wants to be an Instagram Star?" instead if Borderless. The works were pretty good. Bunch of people taking pictures. And a couple of rooms they limit you to just a couple of minutes.

This was awesome so glad we included this in our trip. The only bad note is that the line for the lantern room was like a 20 min wait at least and we got 60 seconds in there. I would not personally bother queueing that long for that room but everything else was worth the little wait.

It can be a bit confusing to get around so check you have seen all the rooms with a host before you go

Beautiful and surprising displays. Could spend many hours in. Long lines within (40 mins) to at least 2 of the displays/adventures.

Amazing! It gets horribly busy with people but its worth it. Expect lineups for certain exhibits when inside but a must is the tea room.

Totally worth it!!! Can definitly recommend it!


There was a room full of LEDs where you could interact with your smartphone and decide which effect should come next.
You can draw pictures, the team there will scan it and project it in a room full with drawings - very beautiful.
You should come and take a look yourself!!!

Many people even on weekdays' morning, use of tripod (even small gorilla pad) is not allowed which is very inconvenient for solo travellers and for such low light environment

Easy to get lost, I recommend studying the website to make sure you see everything before you accidentally leave too early. We had to go back to find the rest. Amazing when you're inside, but know that it's HUGE. Lots of walking and uneven surfaces. Must get tickets early as this is a new and popular attraction.

Absolutely fantastic digital art museum! A highlight in my history of visiting art museums.

I would give ten stars if I could. Amazing mind blowing one time experience, highly recommend visiting this museum and losing oneself in digital art

so excited lighting techniques with unique zone display

This is definitely an instagram tourist trap. The main purpose is to go there and take dozens of pictures for instagram. But if you truly want to absorb everything, put the camera away, ignore your surroundings, and turn on your senses. For about $30 USD, you can spent 2+ hours here. I suggest taking your time. To get my money worth, I stayed for 3 hours, re-visiting some of the rooms. It's easy to get the sense that you saw everything but really you haven't. The staffs should really give a map of the place. Two different occasions I was ready to leave, I stumbled another room that I have not seen before. There are far more than what meets the eyes. Tripods and selfie sticks are not allowed. If you use a selfie stick for stability, you cannot extend it. The room with the overhead lamps is the hot spot. It was difficult to find it but when I did, there was a long line. I waited about 20 minutes to get in the room. What I didn't know was the time limit. None of the staffs said anything regarding having one minute in the room. I believe they do this when the line is really long. When I left the room, the line was 3x as long as it was 30 minutes ago. It can be up to 2 hours wait.

Some tips:
- The location is far depending where you are staying in Tokyo.
- Purchase your ticket(s) online. I got there 10:20am (they open 10am) and already there was a long line at the ticket booth and at the entrance.
- No need to buy the tea ceremony ticket online. You get a coupon for buy one get one free ticket at the end of the visit.
- Explore the area after you are done. It's has nice surrounding and things to do there.

Absolutely amazing!! Recommended to go early as the line ups both to get in and certain exhibits can get quite long later in the day.

What an incredible experience. We didn't get a chance to see the lamps, but everything else - wow. Incredible. Don't miss this.

We arrived at 2pm on weekday and waited half an hour for getting inside. The museum is nice and the whole experience is amazing, we ve spent about 2.5 hrs inside. Suggested to reserve the ticket online first as it may sold out. (It s difficult to take portraits so just enjoy the lights you see :))

Fantastic. Would recomend to everyone visiting Tokyo we found ourselves occupied for four hours

Probably the most special museum in the world. Worth visiting.

The anticipation getting in was awesome. There was definately a build up with information and teases of the upcoming experiance.

Going early will help with the crowdedness which 100% takes away from the experiance but really cant be helped.

There are 2 exibits that you need to wait for and personally I felt birds nest was not really worth the hour plus wait, but that is becuase I am not fond of heights. It was a bit short aswell and not as breath taking as some of the other exibits. We were too tired to wait for the lantern exibit but I feel that would have been more worth the wait if you could only choose one.

The other exibits were amazing, and the idea of boarderless art is inspired. The money is well worth the things you will get to see and be a part of. They put a great deal of thought for all ages from kids to older adults. This is a must do if you are in Japan.

I loved their end quote, something to the effect of, "enjoy the experiance, be in the moment"

OMG! You have to experience this. Such a interactive, modern and unique exhibition. Great for families and children, couples everyone but the family dog. So popular you have to pre buy tickets and be prepared to line up for some areas even inside the exhibition. But totally worth it. Don't miss it

If you want to be surrounded by hordes of selfie obsessed tourists then this is the place for you! The art itself is interesting, but the crowds constantly getting in your way can really ruin the experience. Also the rope nest is not worth the wait.

Super cool exhibition, better to get tickets online and go on a Monday, less ppl and more enjoyable atmosphere, also shorter lines

Unique experience. Unique museum. Even if a bit pricey is a must in Tokyo.

Must visit digital art museum, some installations might have long queue with waiting time up to one hour

The experience itself was good but the crowd was not. So many people it's hard to enjoy the exhibit fully. Recommend to go on a weekday for better experience

A fun and modern exhibition. More of an interactive experience than a museum. They encourage exploration and discovery and hence don't provide a map; after about an hour or two you'll start to get a sense of where you are and which rooms you've seen. I don't know if they mention it on their homepage, but once you get there they have signs warning women with skirts and dresses that some of the floors are mirrors, so it's best just to wear trousers or shorts (they do also provide wrap-around garments if you forget).

Mind blowing experience! You need at least 2-3 hours to explore the artworks (due to the queuing) Would highly recommend

Amazing experience. Requires at least 2 hours to fully enjoy all the rooms around.

The Hype is real! It's a really great digital art-museum, totally worth going. I would recommend to go on the weekdays and try to be at 10:00 AM in the morning. You must purchase your tickets online, plus there is a waiting line there but it moves pretty fast.

An unexpectedly magical experience. This proved to be an incredibly immersive, beautiful and unique experience. Highly recommended for anyone in Tokyo.

The train journey also provides some beautiful views across Rainbow Bridge and passing the Olympic Village.

It was an average exhibition. It was crowded even during weekdays. Waited 40 minutes for floating nest but it was disappointing. They played the same background song in a few rooms which was a bit weird. Nothing wowed us.

Well worth the wait time. Team lab Borderless is a great interactive experience that will leave you with a creative spark. Truly children at heart here.

Children will love this place, and I firmly believe everyone will find something worth their time here. I found 4 hours worth of my own.

Awesome. Go early to face a mass of people. Still worth it. Went on a Saturday. Probably not the best game plan. During the week has to be less busy.

Visiting the Borderless art digital museum in Tokyo was a surreal and an immersive experience. I spent 3 hours very easily going through different curated spaces. Each room has a theme and you chance upon while walking through the dark spaces/curtains as a sensory surprise! The projections and sound quality is superb! Bought the ticket online that saved me from queues. They provide lockers (with refundable 100 Yen deposit) and umbrella place to store/secure your things. It's easier to move around without your bags. Once you are in the queue for main entry, the line moves quickly. Some of the rooms have a wait time/queues of 20 to 30 mins but it's worth the experience. Overall, it's a must see in Tokyo!

Lights shows are amazing, interactive.
Definitely do the tea option, great experience. Fun place for young to old.
Very well organised lots of people but it never feels crowded.

Amazing and an immersive space! A must see experience!

Amazing experience!! A must go if you re planning to visit Tokyo for at least 3 days. Tickets need to be bought well in to the advance,as this is a popular attraction. Line up for some rooms can be long (we were there around 11-3 and one line was 1 hour long)
There s also the app you can download to control and interact with the museum.
Crowds come and go, so if you re looking to take some instagram pics you need to be really patient (or stay around closing time at 5)
