TeamLab Borderless is the ultimate eye candy - here it is with no yapping or begging - see it like you are really there yourself.
TeamLab Borderless (チームラボ ボーダレス) is one of Tokyo's hottest new attractions. It's like a 21st century carnival hall of mirrors with projected digital animation, lights, balloons, and your chance to interact with some of it. There are several rooms for you to explore, and the exhibits frequently change so you can actually spend hours and hours there and constantly see something new.
Part of the fun is you can draw your own picture of something and the staff will then scan it into their system, and animate it into the displays for you. This video shows a good sample of the best, but there is still more you can see and enjoy.
For an additional charge, you can also go to their tea room, and see more art swimming in your tea cup.
Another aspect of Teamlab Borderless is that some of the displays are interactive - if you touch them on the wall or floor, they react to you. There is also an app you can get for your smart phone that lets you partially control what happens (though many say it is quite buggy).
One negative thing though are the MASSIVE CROWDS that go to it. You have to buy your tickets online (your chances of getting them at the door are like winning the lottery) and it would be wise to choose a less crowded time, , such as a weekday when many others are at work or school. One of the busiest places is the "Floating Nest" where you walk above the floor on a thick net, then sit or lie down on it to watch the displays on the ceiling. There may be a 45 minute wait for it so if you want to go there, you should do it ASAP if there is not much of a line. The display lasts about 10 minutes or so.
Another aspect you should be aware of is that some places have mirrors on the floors - if you are a lady you might not want to wear a short skirt.
Finding the exit to some places can also be a challenge, but more of a fun one.
If bringing a load of stuff with you, there are lockers you can put your things in before entering. The lockers are free, but you will need a 100 yen coin for them (returned when you take your things out).
You can take as many photos or video as you like, but no selfie-sticks, monopods or tripods. Flash pictures are not permitted. Food, smoking, and booze is prohibited. Any drinks must be in capped bottles or containers, and consumed only in certain areas. There are rest rooms of course, but the lines for them can get extremely long.
Teamlab Borderless closed in Odaiba at the end of August, 2022. A new TeamLab Borderless opens in central Tokyo in January 2024, and will be the same but with some new things as well.
Teamlab Borderless also had another similar place in nearby Toyosu, if that is not enough for you - Teamlab Planets. There, you mostly walk through water up to your knees, and it has artistic projections of fish and other things put on the water. Teamlab Planets only takes about an 60-90 minutes or so and is not a permanent exhibit - it only goes on until the end of 2027.
For a comparison, please watch the TeamLab Planets video here:
