Quick note on accessibility, when we visited my wife struggled with the room that has "bean bag floors" (not sure what else to call them), and the staff were able to direct her behind a curtain along an alternate route so she could skip that room. None of us bypassed any of the other rooms, but I assume there are similar options for other rooms if needed. Wonderful place to visit! We went since we had seen Teamlab Borderless (which was closed due to relocation) highlighted on this channel, and it was well worth it!
That's good to know that the staff were helpful and there's an alternate route where you don't miss anything else. I'm so impressed with everything TeamLab has done!!
i just got back from japan. i went here, and loved it. pro tip, when you need to use the restroom. use the one outside.. nobody out there. the one inside had a line..
We went in November with my then 3 year old and our whole group absolutely loved it! I ended up changing him into a swimming shirt/trunks prior to entering because the travel agent warned that the water was about knee level for adults. I would recommend the same if anyone is bringing younger children, because he tripped a couple times while walking in the koi/flower petal room and would have been soaked otherwise. Overall all of us agreed it was one of the top highlights of our trip so I definitely recommend it as well! :)
Good idea to bring swimsuits for kids! I'm sure he was splashing about a bit too! So glad you all enjoyed it - it's something I think everyone can enjoy, regardless of what you're interested in or how old you are (or what language you speak!).
Amy, I just went to TeamLabs this past Monday at 9 am, right after the Tuna Auction and breakfast at Daiwa Sushi at the Toyosu Market. Got the tickets online the same day while standing on the line. There is also a vegan ramen restaurant in a beautiful and relaxing setting. It was great to relive the experience through your video, now that I am back home. I love your videos, they are always so informative, realistic and practical. Good work!
How lucky you were with that Mt Fuji view at the end, that looked gorgeous! looking forward to the other videos you've teased as well :) the shinkansen tickets one will be especially useful!
It's the first time I've seen Fuji that well from Tokyo - before I thought most photos of it were Photoshopped! (Some probably are tbh!). Looking forward to editing all the other vids!
Love this video! Just received your book in the mail. Your pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous and soooo well done. I know planning our trip will be that much easier because of your book and your videos. Thank you sooo much for all you do! Your amazing!🥰 PS the personal touch and the way the book was packaged was truly appreciated.
Was excited to see your vlog up. So informative as ever ❤ great tips , as we will be going here in July, but may have to skip the bean bag room due to a bad hip. Looking forward to the next one Amy.
You'll love it! Someone else in the comments said they had trouble with the bean bag room, and the staff showed them a secret corridor behind a curtain to bypass it so you'll be fine!
Stunning video Amy 😍, thank you so much. I'm going to Japan in 2025 and I can't wait. Today, I've purchased your Japan guide from your website and am looking forward to its arrival ❤
Thanks so much! It's on it's way to you now! I'm sure you'll love it in Japan - and the new TeamLab Borderless will definitely be open by then (and who knows what else!) :-)
Oh I loved TeamLab Planets! That flower projection room and the one with led's were my favorites. Those were eally immersive, I could have sat there for ages! We booked our tickets in advance from their website which was really easy.
Hi Amy! Thanks for the video! I'm going to Japan in October, and I'll probably go to TeamLab. As I'm only wearing dresses and skirts, I was a bit worried about the water sections (and was thinking about wearing sport short to avoid the mirror issue). Thank you very much for all the details you gave! I might borrow a short if possible, or carefully plan the length of the skirt I'll be wearing on that particular visit. I can't wait to see all the other video from your last trip to Japan 🤩🤩🤩
Same here, I only took skirts and dresses! As long as it's knee length or above it'll be fine with the water, and there are shorts available. With the mirrored floors, I was mostly hoping everyone was too mesmerised with everything else to notice! 🤞 Watch out if you're going to Shibuya Sky too. It's very windy up there so if you're going with a skirt, a long one is recommended!
Very informative,thanks! I am goind around 10th of October in Japan so this place is a must see.I was very dissapointed when I heard that TeamLab Borderless is closed temporarly,and then my friend googled some similar stuff and this popped up.Can't wait to experience it!
I will say booking online is very good I booked teamlabs planets last minute why travling to odaiba at around 840am and was able to get tickets for 930am by the time I got there 920amish they only had tickets from 11am and later they also took my card with no iusse
After watching your video, I've booked a ticket for my last day in Tokyo next week. Not something I'd considered (being in the older crowd) but it looks fun!
Amazing timing Amy! I have tickets booked for tomorrow so really appreciate the last minute advice!! ps hope you saw the instagram pic I sent you with your book by the Hachiko statue!!
@@cakeswithfaces forgot to reply back but ended up posting on twitter and you saw it there. Anyways I did really enjoy TeamLab Planets and after I watched the whole of your vids you had the same thoughts I did! Ps I did actually say hi to the fish from you!! 🤣
I had to go back to the entrance on the bean bag room, as I basically could not move forward. On the day we went three of the rooms were under maintenance. the mirrored sculptures we did not see. Would recommend bringing shorts.
The mirrored sculpture garden will be having maintenance again next month! Yes, shorts would be helpful especially in winter when you're wearing long trousers.
My son and I went in April , loved it . I consider myself very able but I struggled to move forward in the beanbag room . It wasn’t helped by the fact I had a dress on and trying to crawl with a dress on and the floor sinking is very hard 😂.
I would pick Borderless, because it's larger so there's more to see. But the fish and flowers are only at Planets! There are projected flowers at Borderless, but the garden of real flowers is only at Planets.
There isn't parking, but on weekdays you get 1 hour free parking at Lalaport Toyosu: www.teamlab.art/e/planets/#:~:text=%5BWeekdays%20only%5D%20Free%201%2DHour%20Parking%20Ticket%20at%20LaLaport%20Toyosu%0AIf%20you%20present%20your%20same%2Dday%20ticket%20for%20teamLab%20Planets%20TOKYO%20at%20Urban%20dock%20LaLaport%20TOYOSU%2C%20you%20will%20be%20granted%20one%20hour%20of%20free%20parking.
I am surprised how difficult it is to find trash cans. I search for blocks with no luck. Restrooms have signs saying trash cans removed due to Covid. It’s really surprising.
It's always been that way in Japan! There've been times when I've carried wrappers etc around with me all day! 😅 Convenience stores sometimes have them, and it's normal to return the rubbish to the place you got it from, eg a snack kiosk.
Thank you for this walk thru. This is the best one. I plan to go in a couple months. Couple of questions. I have sensory issues. I need to know so no surprises. The white light room. How long is the walk thru before getting to that open big section with other people? Getting to and back out of the big section is what will bother me. One more question. The fish room does the floor surface change and does anything feel like it touches you? Thank you again for this POV video. I plan to get your book.
Thanks so much! White light room - do you mean the room with the spotlights, before you get to the room with the fish (at 06:16)? It's really just a corridor - it's quite dark, and I think I started filming very soon after entering, so you can see most of it in the video. You can see the doorway on the left, which you go through to get to the fish room. There are a couple of corridors between some of the rooms, but there's only one route around TeamLab Planets, so you can't get lost. There'll probably be other people to follow so you'll find it easily. The exit of the fish room isn't the same as the entrance - because of the route you follow through the rooms. You'll be able to see where to go out, by following other people. The floor under the water feels like it's made of rubber, so you don't slip over. It feels safe and doesn't change, but I could feel a few wrinkles where it felt like the vinyl (or whatever it is!) had bunched up a bit in some places. It doesn't feel like anything touches you in the water. Hope that helps! :-)
That was definitely a lovely surprise. I've been on that route many times and it's the first time Fuji showed their face! But I'll definitely be on the look-out now!
also about the feet thing you are aloud to put your stocks on for the outside gardens area well you was when I went in december they may of change it since then
The timing of your trip might decide that for you, as Planets closes at the end of this year, and Borderless isn't open now, but will be opening later this year. If I had the choice and could only go to one, there's much more at Borderless. But choose Planets if you really want to go to the water rooms, because they only have them there!
Great video....very informative. You mentioned that you have to take off your shoes and sock and put them in a locker. Does each locker have a key so people don't accidentally go in the wrong locker? Also, if you have a backpack, are you allowed to take it through the exhibits or do you also need to put that in a locker? Appreciate your help.
The lockers have keys, so your stuff is safe! :-) I'm not sure if it's compulsory to put your bag in the lockers, but I think it's recommended, because it's easier to move around without a backpack, especially in rooms like the one with the beanbag floor where you're scrambling along and it's easy to fall over!
It's definitely recommended! The water is chlorinated - it didn't smell too much like a swimming pool though. Everywhere was very clean, cleanliness is highly rated in Japan thank goodness!
I'd say about 1-2 hours, depending on how long you stay in each room. Planets is nowhere near as big as TeamLab Borderless (all rooms are shown in the video) so you can get round it quicker, or you can choose to sit and enjoy each room and take your time. For example, some people were sitting or laying down in the big flower dome. You can spend as much time as you like you're free to go at your own pace.
There are two sizes of locker: 25cm wide x 40cm deep x 50cm high 25cm wide x 40cm deep x 75cm high That's from the official FAQ so should be accurate: teamlabplanets.dmm.com/en/help
Excellent, you'll love it! I'd recommend checking ticket availability online to see how many tickets are left. I've heard that places are busy at the moment, I'm guessing because of Obon coming up.
The tickets are timed entry, so when it's your time you line up. I found I was only waiting in the queue for a very short time if you line up at the correct time.
Thank you for sharing this! We have our tickets for the end of the month! Question for you: can we do the fish market and team lab on the same day? I’m thinking they are in the same area, is that correct?
Great choice, you'll love it! Yes, you can absolutely do both! That day I went to Tsukiji, Small Worlds Tokyo, then TeamLab, and dinner in the evening. You can actually walk between all of them, but there's also the train if your feet need a break!! It's not a particularly short walk but we enjoy walking!!
@@cakeswithfaces thank you so much! This is so helpful! Is it possible to get tickets to small worlds on the same day? Or should I buy tickets in advance? 😊
Though it wasn't bad, teamlabs was our worst experience in Tokyo. 40 minutes of waiting in line for about 40 minutes of stuff to see. Nearly everyone is a tourist. Crowded. There are better things to spend your time on if you're a tourist. Go see Meiji shrine.
Is the place to lock up the luggage at Team Labs or at the station you mentioned. This would be really helpful to know as the only day we could get a ticket to visit was on a travel day so we will have our luggage with us.
What I usually do in that situation is drop my luggage at the hotel I'll be staying in next. Even if you arrive before check-in time, most hotels can store your luggage for you for free until your room's ready (and the same after you check out, if you're not leaving straight away). I don't think the lockers would be large enough for most suitcases. It says you may be able to leave them in the area for strollers: "After you pass the entrance gate, you can put your baggage in the locker. Locker have two size. 25cm wide x 40cm deep x 50cm high 25cm wide x 40cm deep x 75cm high ・For baggage of size exceeding the above, we can not keep it because there is no cloak. ・Please understand beforehand that suitcases with sizes exceeding the above size will be managed with a wire lock in the stroller storage area." The local station, Shin Toyosu, isn't that big. It has some coin lockers I'm not sure if it has the large size. Lockers come in four sizes: S, M, L (and XL size, which are very rare). I used them for the first time recently for suitcases and thought we'd need XL, but L turned out to be large enough, even for our yellow case, which is as large as you're allowed on most airlines. (I filmed a video about it!). So if you want to use coin lockers, I'd recommend using lockers at a larger station on the way, wherever you see large lockers en route.
TeamLab Planets is closing at the end of 2023, but TeamLab Borderless is opening in its new Tokyo location in January 2024. It's much larger and is the permanent digital art museum - and has a few of the rooms from this video (highly reocmmended!).
Yes, there are lockers for your stuff. I forgot to film them but they're very similar to the lockers at TeamLab Borderless - there's a photo near the start of the video. It might not fit a full suitcase, but the lockers are quite large for backpacks, etc.
You can spend as long as you want to there - you could rush round quite quickly or you could sit and watch each room (except the flower room, where they move each group on). I'd say between 1-2 hours for TeamLab Planets. TeamLab Borderless is much larger so would be double that time.
i just purchased pidgeon spikes and glue , im sick of cleaning away pidgeon crap off the landing near my entry door. i just watched a you tuber in asakusa .And i saw two bloody pidgeons walking out of a shop in the shopping arcade,i wonder if they crapped in there.And there also on the streets there ugh.
I missed out on the open air one in Osaka because it turned out to be closed on the only day I could go (should have checked the opening times!). I'd say it looks like there's more at Planets, but they're completely different, so go to the one that appeals to you most!

Is the vegan ramen restaurant in Planets or nearby? 😊
Loved this. It was so fun! My kids liked it too
I can imagine kids would love it! Some of the rooms are definitely for your inner child!!
@@cakeswithfaces so true!!
That looks so amazing!
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone! ✨
How lucky you were with that Mt Fuji view at the end, that looked gorgeous!

You must have been in Tokyo just after us. We were there mid Feb to End. TeamLabs visit was maybe our third day there.
Yes, I was late Feb / start of March. It was a lot warmer than I expected!
Love this video! Just received your book in the mail. Your pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous and soooo well done. I know planning our trip will be that much easier because of your book and your videos. Thank you sooo much for all you do!

Aww thank you so much, that means a lot! I'm really happy you like it!!
Very cool place, I have to go there sometime 🙂
Definitely recommended!
TeamLab Planets was my favorite destination on my most recent Japan trap I did end of March/early April. LOVED IT.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it too! It's unlike anywhere else!
what an amazing experience!
I loved it!
We loved going there!! Definitely a highlight!!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's so magical!
On my way now, skipped the middle bit, cheers, have your guidebook. All very exciting.
Enjoy!! I'm sure you'll love it!
Great video. Thank you. I hope the new Borderless will be open by November 2023
Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🤞🤞
Was excited to see your vlog up. So informative as ever ❤ great tips , as we will be going here in July, but may have to skip the bean bag room due to a bad hip. Looking forward to the next one Amy.
You'll love it! Someone else in the comments said they had trouble with the bean bag room, and the staff showed them a secret corridor behind a curtain to bypass it so you'll be fine!

Oh I loved TeamLab Planets! That flower projection room and the one with led's were my favorites. Those were eally immersive, I could have sat there for ages!
We booked our tickets in advance from their website which was really easy.
Glad you enjoyed it too! It's so mesmerising! 😍
Finding your videos so helpful thank you 🙏
Excellent, that's great to hear, thank you! 🥰
This was super helpful and informative, ty for sharing! I'm going to Tokyo in 3 days and decided to check this place out ❤
Great choice - have a fantastic time!
this is soo cool. i wish i knew about this place when i was there 2 weeks ago. next time!
It's always the way!! There've been times when I've discovered something literally the day after I got back. 😅
Hi Amy! Thanks for the video! I'm going to Japan in October, and I'll probably go to TeamLab.

@@cstpa1 Thanks for the precision! I'll do so 🙂
Sooooo helpful!!
Thanks so much! Enjoy TeamLab!
I just got my ticket for July! I am very excited!!
Yay, you'll love it! Enjoy!!
The places are beautiful
TeamLabs are amazing! 😍
aww cool, it looked like someplace we would go on a field trip at school. it looks so pretty and fun. :D
Your school field trips sound more exciting than my school field trips!! 😝

Price is up to 3800 JPY for adults in February 2024 it seems
Prices have gone up everywhere. 😭 This was in Feb/March 2023.
After watching your video, I've booked a ticket for my last day in Tokyo next week. Not something I'd considered (being in the older crowd) but it looks fun!
Ah I'm glad you're going! I think anyone would enjoy it, and it's something that isn't affected at all by language barriers, etc. Enjoy!!
Amazing timing Amy! I have tickets booked for tomorrow so really appreciate the last minute advice!! ps hope you saw the instagram pic I sent you with your book by the Hachiko statue!!
Enjoy - I'm sure you'll love it! And say hello to the fish in the water room for me!

@@sherbetpictures So glad you enjoyed it! Love those fish!!
i loved the experience and would tell everyone to go there!! the feet out situation was a bit weird tho hahah
It was definitely strange being barefoot at first! Glad you loved it too! Can't wait for Borderless to re-open to see the new rooms.
@@cakeswithfaces thank you! And because of you I got to know about borderless :)
@@FrediLve Excellent, I'm so glad to hear that!! 🎶

Brilliant
Thank you!
Is it closer to get there from Tokyo station, Ueno station, Ikebukuro station, Akihabara station , Shibuya station or Asakusa?
Tokyo Station would be the closest - that's nearer the trains that go over to Odaiba and Toyosu.
can we return to the exhibition when we take a brake to eat lunch ?
Unfortunately, re-entry isn't allowed. However it's not so large that you'd need to take a break in the middle. :-)
Amy if you had to pick one TeamLab to visit would you pick Borderless or Planets? I do like the fish & flowers.
I would pick Borderless, because it's larger so there's more to see. But the fish and flowers are only at Planets! There are projected flowers at Borderless, but the garden of real flowers is only at Planets.
Is there a parking space in the venue?
There isn't parking, but on weekdays you get 1 hour free parking at Lalaport Toyosu: www.teamlab.art/e/planets/#:~:text=%5BWeekdays%20only%5D%20Free%201%2DHour%20Parking%20Ticket%20at%20LaLaport%20Toyosu%0AIf%20you%20present%20your%20same%2Dday%20ticket%20for%20teamLab%20Planets%20TOKYO%20at%20Urban%20dock%20LaLaport%20TOYOSU%2C%20you%20will%20be%20granted%20one%20hour%20of%20free%20parking.

Hope that helps! :-)
Thank you!
I wish boarderless was still open or reopening by September
Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞
Is it slippery walking uphill in water?
No, the floor's rubbery with a slight texture, so it's not slippery at all. :-)
I’ve heard that it’s nice to go after dark because there’s a part outside that’s lit up? Is this correct?
Yes! The garden with the mirrored sculptures is outside and lights up!
I think TeamLab got photo-bomded by the view from the Rainbow Bridge.
I wonder what other railway routes have must-see views.
That was definitely a lovely surprise. I've been on that route many times and it's the first time Fuji showed their face! But I'll definitely be on the look-out now!
also about the feet thing you are aloud to put your stocks on for the outside gardens area well you was when I went in december they may of change it since then
That makes sense as you go past the lockers to get to that section, and socks would be fine in the flower room too.
@@cakeswithfaces I have one really bad foot so just try to keep it out of photos and videos so was nice when I could cover it up in the last room
For someone who hasn’t done either but only wants to do one, which one should I do?
The timing of your trip might decide that for you, as Planets closes at the end of this year, and Borderless isn't open now, but will be opening later this year.
If I had the choice and could only go to one, there's much more at Borderless. But choose Planets if you really want to go to the water rooms, because they only have them there!

It looks incredible- I've definitely added this to my to-do list: is the water chlorinated for hygeine though?...
It's definitely recommended! The water is chlorinated - it didn't smell too much like a swimming pool though. Everywhere was very clean, cleanliness is highly rated in Japan thank goodness!
Hi. How long did you stay inside teamlab? From the time you entered and go. Did it took 2hrs to fully see the whole place?
I'd say about 1-2 hours, depending on how long you stay in each room. Planets is nowhere near as big as TeamLab Borderless (all rooms are shown in the video) so you can get round it quicker, or you can choose to sit and enjoy each room and take your time. For example, some people were sitting or laying down in the big flower dome. You can spend as much time as you like you're free to go at your own pace.
Awe job Amy .
Thank you!
No problem Amy
thanks for the video! are the lockers big enough to fit a carryon suitcase? we'll be coming from the airport
There are two sizes of locker:
25cm wide x 40cm deep x 50cm high
25cm wide x 40cm deep x 75cm high
That's from the official FAQ so should be accurate: teamlabplanets.dmm.com/en/help
thank you! @@cakeswithfaces
Is the water part still available in the winter time or is that just a summer exhibit
It's all year round! It's all indoors apart from the garden with the shiny sculptures. But it's temporary so it ends at the end of this year.
Hi there! So glad to chance upon this vid as our family is going to Tokyo this weekend. I was wondering if we can walk in?
Excellent, you'll love it! I'd recommend checking ticket availability online to see how many tickets are left. I've heard that places are busy at the moment, I'm guessing because of Obon coming up.
if you have ticket can you skip the line and head to the front line?
The tickets are timed entry, so when it's your time you line up. I found I was only waiting in the queue for a very short time if you line up at the correct time.
Thank you for sharing this! We have our tickets for the end of the month! Question for you: can we do the fish market and team lab on the same day? I’m thinking they are in the same area, is that correct?
Great choice, you'll love it! Yes, you can absolutely do both! That day I went to Tsukiji, Small Worlds Tokyo, then TeamLab, and dinner in the evening. You can actually walk between all of them, but there's also the train if your feet need a break!! It's not a particularly short walk but we enjoy walking!!
@@cakeswithfaces thank you so much! This is so helpful! Is it possible to get tickets to small worlds on the same day? Or should I buy tickets in advance? 😊
Pwde po ba yan sa nag papadede po mam
I went there before
Hope you enjoyed it too!
Is there real fish you feel in the fish room?
No they're just projections 😅
Though it wasn't bad, teamlabs was our worst experience in Tokyo. 40 minutes of waiting in line for about 40 minutes of stuff to see. Nearly everyone is a tourist. Crowded. There are better things to spend your time on if you're a tourist. Go see Meiji shrine.
Thanks. I had imagined this ... Meiji shrine is GREAT
Is the place to lock up the luggage at Team Labs or at the station you mentioned. This would be really helpful to know as the only day we could get a ticket to visit was on a travel day so we will have our luggage with us.
What I usually do in that situation is drop my luggage at the hotel I'll be staying in next. Even if you arrive before check-in time, most hotels can store your luggage for you for free until your room's ready (and the same after you check out, if you're not leaving straight away).
I don't think the lockers would be large enough for most suitcases. It says you may be able to leave them in the area for strollers:
"After you pass the entrance gate, you can put your baggage in the locker.
Locker have two size.
25cm wide x 40cm deep x 50cm high
25cm wide x 40cm deep x 75cm high
・For baggage of size exceeding the above, we can not keep it because there is no cloak.
・Please understand beforehand that suitcases with sizes exceeding the above size will be managed with a wire lock in the stroller storage area."
The local station, Shin Toyosu, isn't that big. It has some coin lockers I'm not sure if it has the large size. Lockers come in four sizes: S, M, L (and XL size, which are very rare). I used them for the first time recently for suitcases and thought we'd need XL, but L turned out to be large enough, even for our yellow case, which is as large as you're allowed on most airlines. (I filmed a video about it!). So if you want to use coin lockers, I'd recommend using lockers at a larger station on the way, wherever you see large lockers en route.
I remembered when @Bristol first opened up in my town, it was similar to this but it's outdated now
Will it be open in 2024?
TeamLab Planets is closing at the end of 2023, but TeamLab Borderless is opening in its new Tokyo location in January 2024. It's much larger and is the permanent digital art museum - and has a few of the rooms from this video (highly reocmmended!).
@@cakeswithfaces thanks, i will surely go there in February
i am bringing by baby to teamlab, can we skip some rooms that might be a challenge for baby?
Yes, you can ask a member of staff if you need to skip a room - they offer that for people with mobility issues too.
can i leave my luggage anywhere in there???
Yes, there are lockers for your stuff. I forgot to film them but they're very similar to the lockers at TeamLab Borderless - there's a photo near the start of the video. It might not fit a full suitcase, but the lockers are quite large for backpacks, etc.
Hi! How many hours do you need to allot when visiting Teamlab in Tokyo?
You can spend as long as you want to there - you could rush round quite quickly or you could sit and watch each room (except the flower room, where they move each group on). I'd say between 1-2 hours for TeamLab Planets. TeamLab Borderless is much larger so would be double that time.
@@cakeswithfaces Thanks a lot! Very helpful
i just purchased pidgeon spikes and glue , im sick of cleaning away pidgeon crap off the landing near my entry door. i just watched a you tuber in asakusa .And i saw two bloody pidgeons walking out of a shop in the shopping arcade,i wonder if they crapped in there.And there also on the streets there ugh.
The plural of fish is ‘fish’. Fishes? 😂
😝😝
Which ones is better, Osaka open air one or Planets? I was planning to only go to Borderless but it opens later to my travel itinerary 🥲
I missed out on the open air one in Osaka because it turned out to be closed on the only day I could go (should have checked the opening times!). I'd say it looks like there's more at Planets, but they're completely different, so go to the one that appeals to you most!
@@cakeswithfaces thanks! :)
