Is teamLab Worth It? What 100 People in Japan Told Us
The rest split three ways. 37.0% (37 people) called it a little expensive and 2.0% (2 people) called it expensive. 10.0% (10 people) did not pay themselves, so they could not judge.
japan-japan.com surveyed people living in Japan who have been to teamLab on 7 and 8 October 2026. 110 people answered, and 100 answers were valid. We also read every adult ticket price on the official ticket sites for 60 days. The graphic below shows the headline result.
How we asked, and who answered
The online survey was open to people who live in Japan and have been to at least one teamLab venue. 110 people answered between 08:13 on 7 October and 10:18 on 8 October 2026, Japan time. We removed answers with clear contradictions, such as rating a venue the person said they had not been to. That left 100 valid answers.
The questionnaire had 53 questions, mostly multiple choice, plus 5 optional free-text questions. We counted each venue question only among people who had been to that venue. People wrote their comments in Japanese, and japan-japan.com translated them into English.
The survey has limits. Respondents answered an open online call, so the results do not represent all teamLab visitors. Every answer is self-reported. 37.0% of respondents last went 3 or more years ago, and 21.0% had been to the old teamLab Borderless in Odaiba, which closed in 2022.
Group sizes matter too. Only 11 respondents had been to teamLab Borderless at Azabudai Hills and 9 to teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka. 4 had been to teamLab Biovortex Kyoto and 12 to teamLab Forest Fukuoka. We do not give percentages for groups under 30 people. teamLab Planets is the only venue with enough respondents (49) for venue-level percentages.
Here is who answered, as shares of the 100 respondents:
- Age: 30s 43.0%, 20s 24.0%, 40s 23.0%, 50s 6.0%.
- Gender: women 83.0%, men 15.0%.
- Region: Kanto (Tokyo area) 36.0%, Chubu 17.0%, Kyushu and Okinawa 15.0%.
- Visits: once 61.0%, twice 24.0%, 3 to 4 times 15.0%.
- Went with: friends 33.0%, family with children 30.0%, a partner or spouse 24.0%.
Almost half of them, 49.0%, had been to teamLab Planets in Toyosu. 16.0% had seen a temporary teamLab show at a temple, shrine, castle or garden, and 12.0% had been to teamLab Forest Fukuoka.
Every percentage here is a share of the 100 respondents, or of the 49 Planets visitors where we say so. To cite the survey, use: japan-japan.com online survey of people in Japan who have been to teamLab (7–8 October 2026, valid answers 100).
The full questionnaire (all 53 questions, translated from Japanese)

Was it worth the price? Survey vs our price check
We asked the most each person would pay for one adult visit. The largest group, 36.0%, chose ¥2,000 to ¥2,999. In total, 55.0% (55 of 100) would pay at most ¥2,999, and 20.0% (20 of 100) would pay ¥4,000 or more.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Under ¥2,000 | 19.0 % |
| ¥2,000-¥2,999 | 36.0 % |
| ¥3,000-¥3,999 | 25.0 % |
| ¥4,000-¥4,999 | 14.0 % |
| ¥5,000-¥5,999 | 4.0 % |
| ¥6,000 or more | 2.0 % |
The chart shows all six price bands, from 19.0% for under ¥2,000 down to 2.0% for ¥6,000 or more. Most people did nothing to pay less (59.0%). 19.0% picked a weekday or a cheaper time, and 14.0% used a coupon or points.
Now the real prices. japan-japan.com checked every date and entry time on the official ticket site on 7 October 2026, covering 7 October to 5 December (60 days). On the teamLab Planets TOKYO Official Ticket Store, adult tickets ran from ¥3,800 to ¥5,600, with a median of ¥5,200. These are online prices with tax. teamLab Borderless showed the same range and median.
The entry time moves the price more than the day. Planets averaged ¥5,171 on weekdays and ¥5,174 on weekends and public holidays. By entry time, the gap is clearer:
| Entry time | Planets adult average | Borderless adult average |
|---|---|---|
| Before 11:00 | ¥5,416 | ¥5,414 |
| 11:00 to 14:59 | ¥5,294 | ¥5,248 |
| 15:00 to 17:59 | ¥5,112 | ¥5,010 |
| From 18:00 | ¥4,826 | ¥4,783 |
Prices also drop later in the period. At Planets, each day’s range was ¥4,800 to ¥5,600 until 15 November. From 1 to 5 December it was ¥3,800 to ¥5,000. Our teamLab Planets ticket price guide lists the cheapest entry times.
The teamLab Planets TOKYO official page lists adults from ¥3,800. The teamLab Borderless TOKYO official page lists adults from ¥3,400. Both are starting prices under dynamic pricing. In our 60-day window, no adult ticket at either museum cost less than ¥3,800.
Put the two side by side. The most common fair maximum, ¥2,000 to ¥2,999, sits below the cheapest adult price we found in Tokyo. Children aged 4 to 12 paid ¥1,500 at both Tokyo museums, and children 3 and under enter free.
Which teamLab to pick first
We asked which one teamLab people would recommend to a friend on a first trip to Japan. 46.0% (46 of 100) chose teamLab Planets in Tokyo. 20.0% were not sure, and 8.0% each chose teamLab Forest Fukuoka and teamLab at Mifuneyama Rakuen in Saga.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Planets (Tokyo) | 46.0 % |
| Not sure | 20.0 % |
| Forest Fukuoka | 8.0 % |
| Mifuneyama Rakuen (Saga) | 8.0 % |
| Borderless (Azabudai) | 7.0 % |
| Botanical Garden Osaka | 6.0 % |
| Biovortex Kyoto | 5.0 % |
The chart puts Planets far ahead. Few respondents had been to the newer venues, so few could compare them. Among the 71 who had been to two or more venues, 52.1% (37) named Planets the best. The old Borderless in Odaiba came next at 11.3%.
People could give more than one reason. The artworks are powerful and fine on a rainy day got 40.0% each, and great for photos and video 35.0%.
The venues differ a lot:
- teamLab Planets (Toyosu, Tokyo): barefoot, through water and mirrored rooms. Open 8:00 to 22:00 until the end of 2027.
- teamLab Borderless (Azabudai Hills, Tokyo): permanent since 9 February 2024, 2 minutes on foot from Exit 5 of Kamiyacho Station.
- teamLab Biovortex Kyoto: more than 50 artworks, 7 minutes on foot from Kyoto Station.
- teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka: a night-only open-air museum in Nagai Botanical Garden.
- teamLab Forest Fukuoka: on 5F of BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA, next to the Mizuho PayPay Dome.
Outside Tokyo, tickets cost less. The teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka official page lists adults from ¥1,800, and our check found ¥2,000 to ¥2,200. The teamLab Forest Fukuoka official page lists adults from ¥2,400, the price we found on every date.
“If you go to Tokyo it is well worth visiting both Planets and Borderless,” wrote a man in his 30s from Kanto.
Original Japanese (excerpt): 「東京に行くならプラネッツとボーダレスの両方に足を運ぶ価値が十分にあると思います。」
In Fukuoka, the museum stands right next to the dome below, shown under its earlier name, Fukuoka Yahoo! Dome. Today it is the Mizuho PayPay Dome.

teamLab Planets by the numbers
49 respondents had been to teamLab Planets. 44.9% were very satisfied and 46.9% were satisfied, so 91.8% (45 of 49) landed on the positive side. The other 8.2% were neutral.
Planets stands in Toyosu, 1 minute on foot from the North Exit of Shin-Toyosu Station. It is open 8:00 to 22:00, with last entry 1 hour before closing.
| Place | teamLab Planets TOKYO |
|---|---|
| Price | Adults (18+) from 3,800 yen; junior high and high school 2,800 yen; ages 4-12 1,500 yen; 3 and under free |
| Hours | 8:00-22:00 daily, last entry 1 hour before closing; closed 5 November and 3 December 2026 |
| Access | 1 min walk from Shin-Toyosu Station North Exit (Yurikamome); 10 min from Toyosu Station Exit 7 (Tokyo Metro) |
| Official site | teamLab Planets TOKYO official page |
By their own memory, 42.9% stayed 1.5 to 2 hours and 26.5% stayed 1 to 1.5 hours. In total, 53.1% (26 of 49) spent 1.5 hours or more. The teamLab Borderless TOKYO official FAQ says most visitors spend around 2 hours at either Tokyo museum.
Plan for a wait as well. The teamLab Planets TOKYO Official Ticket Store help page says the ticket time is your entry time. You may wait 30 to 60 minutes to get in.
Crowds bothered few people. 75.5% said it was a little crowded but did not bother them. 20.4% said some works were hard to see.
Water and mirrors set Planets apart. You walk barefoot, and some rooms have water up to knee height even for adults. The koi artwork needs an inseam of at least 40 cm. Skirts or wide-hem trousers may show underwear in the mirrored floors, so Planets lends free shorts in sizes XS to 6L.
In the water rooms, 36.7% found drying their feet and putting shoes back on a hassle. 32.7% worried about getting a phone or bag wet, and another 32.7% had no problems. 14.3% found a skirt awkward.
“The water area was deeper than I expected,” wrote a woman in her 20s from Kyushu. She added that you have to be careful about what you wear.
Original Japanese (excerpt): 「水のエリアが思ったより深くて、服装によってはかなり気を使う点が意外でした。」
On clothes, 61.2% would tell you to wear trousers you can roll up above the knee, and 16.3% said anything but a skirt. The checklist below sums up what to sort out first.
“The mirrored floor reflects everything, so trousers are better than a skirt,” wrote a woman in her 30s from Kanto.
Free lockers sit after the entrance gate, sized 23 x 34 x 37 cm. You cannot carry belongings into the artwork spaces, and there is no re-entry. The photo below shows Planets in Toyosu.
Our teamLab Planets tips on water and what to wear go through the rooms in detail.
Tickets, crowds and when to go
On their last visit, 41.0% of respondents bought on the official website and 16.0% bought at the venue on the day. 19.0% had someone else buy the ticket.
Planets is a different case. The teamLab Planets TOKYO official FAQ says tickets are not sold on-site, so you need a timed-entry ticket bought online. You can change an official-store ticket up to 3 times until 2 hours before entry. You cannot cancel it or get a refund. The steps below show how buying works.
You can pay by card or PayPay with no extra fees, up to 10 tickets per order. For Borderless, sales open around the 1st of the month two months before your visit.
Most people did not book far ahead. 17.0% bought on the day, 11.0% bought 2 to 6 days before and 18.0% bought 1 to 2 weeks before. Only 11.0% (11 of 100) had ever found their date and time sold out.
Our check on 7 October 2026 gives a sharper picture. At Planets, 166 of 1,508 entry times (11%) were already sold out. 29 dates had at least one sold-out entry time, but no date was fully sold out.
The dates with the most sold-out times were 12 October (16), 10 October (15) and 8 October (14). Those fall around the Sports Day long weekend in October. At Borderless, 81 of 1,372 entry times (6%) were sold out.
Respondents went on weekdays (44.0%) about as often as on weekends and public holidays (46.0%). To avoid crowds, 50.0% said go on a weekday right at opening. 17.0% said avoiding long holidays matters more than the time of day. Evenings bring the lowest prices, since Planets entries from 18:00 averaged ¥4,826.
“Weekends in particular fill up fast, so booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead is the safe choice,” wrote a woman in her 20s from Kyushu.
A woman in her 50s from Kanto had a timed ticket but still waited a long time. “It was raining and the place where we waited had no roof, so I got pretty wet,” she wrote.
Expect other travellers. 24.0% said about half or more of the visitors were foreign tourists, and 49.0% said there were some. Shin-Toyosu Station, in the photo below, is the closest stop to Planets.

Flowers blooming and scattering across a whole room stayed with the most people, at 39.0%. A space of many lamps or points of light followed at 38.0%, and walking through water at 33.0%. A space surrounded by mirrors drew 27.0%.
A woman in her 40s from Kanto described the koi room at Planets. “When one touched your feet it burst into flowers,” she wrote.
Original Japanese (excerpt): 「鯉に足が当たるとその鯉が花になって散っていく」
“The forest of glowing lamps at teamLab Borderless (Azabudai Hills) stayed with me the most,” wrote a man in his 30s from Kanto. The photo below shows the Garden Plaza C entrance at Azabudai Hills, with the teamLab Borderless sign on the right. The museum itself is on B1 of Garden Plaza B.
Photos are a big part of the visit, and 58.0% took a lot of photos and videos. Both Tokyo museums allow photos and video, but not flash or selfie sticks of 30 cm or longer.
The letdowns were modest. 38.0% said nothing in particular disappointed them. 18.0% said too many people taking photos made it hard to see, and another 18.0% said it was expensive. 14.0% said it finished sooner than expected.
Light can tire the eyes. 21.0% (21 of 100) said their eyes got tired or they felt unwell at least a little, while 75.0% had no trouble.
“The outdoor cold got the better of the wonder,” wrote a woman in her 50s from Hokkaido and Tohoku about the open-air works in Osaka.
For families, 41.0% said children can enjoy it from 4 to 6 years old, and 35.0% said from primary school age. At Planets, children under 13 must enter with a guardian aged 18 or over, and one adult can bring up to 3 children. Children 3 and under enter free, and strollers stay outside.
