teamLab Planets
Barefoot, wade-through digital-art museum in Toyosu — the photogenic teamLab.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling with kids and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
You go barefoot through knee-deep water, mirrored infinity rooms and a hall of hanging orchids — it's a genuinely novel, dreamlike sensory experience.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's timed-entry, books out, takes ~90 minutes of slow shuffling, and everyone's filming, so it's more spectacle than contemplation.
