Beyond the beauty of mere viewing, it stirs the soul;
Immersed within that beauty, it leaves lasting memories.
What makes TeamLab Toyosu so compelling is that it offers the best of both worlds.
TeamLab Planets TOKYO DMM is located near Shintōyosu Station. A one‑day trip on the Yurikamome Line combining it with Odaiba makes a great itinerary. I had planned to visit TeamLab, Toyosu Market, Lalaport Toyosu and DiverCity Odaiba. My biggest oversight, however, was forgetting to buy a Yurikamome One‑Day Pass.
TeamLab is a pre‑ticketed exhibition venue. Entry is assigned to a fixed time slot, yet there is no limit on how long you may stay. As expected, arriving earlier means smaller crowds.
We entered at 10:00 AM. Following the flow of visitors, we soon reached the lockers for the Water Area. We took off our shoes, stowed our bags, and headed onward with only our phones.
(Photo: The Water Area — bare‑feet throughout.)
(Photo: Stepping into the water‑filled passage reminded me of a scene from Resident Evil 1.)
You might imagine the Water Area will leave you soaked, yet there are not that many wet zones. The deepest water only reaches an adult’s knees. Plenty of towels are provided between zones, so visitors only need to bring shorts. (Numerous mirror effects make dresses impractical.) Normally, no change of clothes is required.
(Photo: The TeamLab app lets you adjust the crystal lighting colours within exhibits — great fun.)
I will not go into further details. Let your eyes and heart experience the rest!
After leaving the Water Area, we retrieved our belongings and put our shoes back on. We stored our things in another set of lockers before entering the Forest. The Forest is an interactive zone filled with colourful light projections, many child‑friendly activities, and occasional waiting times for experiences. An alternative strategy is to visit the Forest first when crowds are lighter, then return bare‑footed to the Water Area later, going against the main flow of visitors.
The teenagers thoroughly enjoyed these interactive games.
(Photo: Some activities are restricted to visitors under 20 — an unusual boundary.)
(Photo: Use the phone app to “catch” creatures in the Forest, much like catching Pokémon.)
While the Water and Forest zones are fully indoors, the Garden area is semi‑open‑air. My wife started feeling unwell, and the children were reluctant to face the outdoor heat. I took a short walk around the Garden by myself, and that concluded our TeamLab visit.
(TeamLab visiting duration: 2 hours)
Mum headed back to the hotel early to rest, leaving the three of us. Right after Akihabara, “Dad‑mode” kicked in once more, and we kept going with our “Toyosu‑Odaiba” excursion.
