After spending an exciting 3-night, 4-day trip at Tokyo DisneySea and Disneyland, we decided to take it slow and visit teamLab Planets in Toyosu. This immersive digital art museum offers a fantastic experience for both adults and children. Unlike traditional museums, teamLab Planets allows visitors to become part of the artwork, offering a unique sensory experience that blends technology and creativity seamlessly.

🍛 Recommended Lunch Spot At Shinkiba Station, we stopped by Curry Udon Senkichi, a cozy place that serves mild and flavorful curry udon. It’s a great meal to relax after the Disney excitement. The rich broth combined with chewy udon noodles is the perfect comfort food before diving into the immersive world of digital art.

🎨 Features of teamLab Planets Toyosu
teamLab Planets is an immersive digital art museum where you experience art with your entire body. One of its most unique features is that visitors walk through areas where they submerge their legs in water. This sensation, combined with dynamic visuals, creates an ethereal experience that makes every step feel like a journey through a dreamlike world.
🖼 Water Immersion Area
⏳ Spend Over 2 Hours Exploring! The “Catching Extinct Animals” Exhibit
A highlight of our visit was the interactive exhibit where you catch extinct animals using a smartphone app. As you explore, animals appear in the digital space, and you can catch them by scanning them with your phone. My child was completely absorbed in this activity! Watching kids interact with the art in such a hands-on way is a reminder of how technology can create deeply engaging experiences beyond just passive observation.
📱 Extinct Animal Exhibit
👶 Perfect for Families with Kids
The museum is great for children, as many of the exhibits are interactive. However, some areas require walking through knee-deep water, so smaller children should be supervised. Since the lighting and digital effects constantly shift, it also provides a mesmerizing experience for adults who enjoy modern and futuristic art.
🌈 Glowing Ball Exhibit
Additionally, many installations react to touch, meaning every visitor can create their own unique experience. Whether walking through a room of floating flowers or stepping into a space filled with moving lights, no two visits feel exactly the same.
🎒 Lockers & Storing Your Belongings
teamLab Planets provides lockers and changing booths, but large suitcases won’t fit in the lockers. If you have big luggage, you’ll need to secure it with a chain inside the facility or store it at nearby Shin-Toyosu Station. Wearing comfortable clothing is highly recommended, as the exhibits require movement, and certain areas have slightly uneven walking surfaces.
🎟️ Buy Tickets in Advance!
Since teamLab Planets is a popular attraction, we highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. ✅ Book on the Official Website ✅ Book on Klook (Discounts Available!)
