teamLab was created in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko and is an international art collective with teamlab exhibitions held worldwide. On my recent trip to Tokyo, we visited teamLab Planets which opened in Toyosu in the summer of 2018. According to the founder, the goal of Planets "aimed to blur the boundaries between body and artwork by immersing visitors in massive 'Body Immersive' works of art, changing our perception of the boundaries between ourselves and the world."
We reserved our tickets online for the first time slot on a Saturday. We were told to bring shorts to change into or wear pants that could be rolled up as you will be walking in water. teamLab Planets also rents shorts in case you are not prepared. The entire experience is spectacularly organized starting with an informational video before being sent to the humongous locker room where you can change and put away your belongings.
We went to teamLab Planets on the high recommendation of a friend because I had zero interest. Honestly, I am happy I took the kids because I truly had a fun experience. My teenage daughter also enjoyed it, but my 12 year old son said it wasn't for him although he waited patiently for the hour it took us to get through all the exhibits. Overall, I definitely recommend visiting if you have the time.
