In summer 2018, teamLab Planets Tokyo, which is also known as TeamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com, opened in Toyosu for a limited period of two years. teamLab Planets exhibits some of teamLab’s most spectacular and popular past digital works as well as new amazing creations in 10,000 m2 space.

That same summer 2018 teamLab Borderless, the world’s very first digital art museum opened in Odaiba area. teamLab Borderless quickly gained popularity, eclipsing its younger brother teamLab Planets. In fact, many tourists only know of the existence of teamLab Borderless. And yes, teamLab Borderless is the perfect place for Instagram photo lovers.

However, teamLab Planets is much more interactive than teamLab Borderless and allows for a much more entertaining and fun experience. It also shares some of the same art as teamLab Borderless. Moreover, since last year a new room was opened at teamLab Planets that quickly became the new trend on social media among young Tokyo residents. 

The museum is divided in 3 different areas:

Water Area

The largest area with the most activities to do, some of which were also in the Borderless teamLab. It was also one of the most interactive, including a room full of water with colored reflections in which digital art koi are swimming between people. Or a space filled with spheres of free floating light. When people touch the spheres, the spheres change their color. Also the Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers, where you can lie down or sit and feel like your body floats among flowers.

One of the most popular is The Infinite Crystal Universe, full of colored tubes that keep changing color making a completely new and amazing experience.

Garden Area

This area has the main attraction of the museum and the newest trend in Instagram and Tik Tok: the Floating Flower Garden, a three-dimensional mass of flowers. The artwork space is completely filled with flowers and mirrors, creating a magic atmosphere as if you were in a fairy tail world.

Here you can also find the Moss Garden of Resonating Microcosms, with ovoids that change appearance with the sunrise and sunset.

Public Area

This area is at the entrance of the museum, and can be enjoyed even without visiting the museum. It is called “Universe of Fire Particles Falling from the Sky”, and as people walk over it, the work changes.

From Barcelona to Tokyo. Coffee & Adventure lover🌏☕️ 

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!

 

Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
