teamLab Planets

Getting around: Take the Yurikamome line to Shin-Toyosu Station, or a subway/bus combination toward the Toyosu area, about 20-25 minutes from central Tokyo.
Hours: Typically 9am/10am-9pm or later, open daily; paid admission, advance timed tickets strongly recommended.

teamLab Planets is an immersive digital art museum where visitors walk barefoot through water-filled rooms and mirrored spaces filled with projected, interactive light installations, designed to physically immerse the body in the artwork rather than simply viewing it from a distance. Some rooms involve wading through ankle-to-knee-deep water, so wearing appropriate clothing (shorts or rolled-up pants) is advisable, and towels are typically provided.

Given its popularity, advance timed-entry tickets are strongly recommended, as walk-up availability can be limited, especially on weekends and during peak tourist seasons.
