If you're planning a trip to Tokyo and want to include a "must-see" immersive art experience in your itinerary, then teamLab is almost a must. 2025 saw the combined annual attendance of Tokyo's two largest teamLabs exceed 4.2 million, proving once again that it's not just a community attraction, but a global digital art landmark.

The two museums in Azabudai and Toyosu have each recorded an impressive number of visitors: about 1.69 million for Borderless in Azabudai and about 2.51 million for Planets in Toyosu. These two spaces have long been recognized as "experiential attractions" alongside Asakusa and Shibuya for Tokyo tourists.

Borderless: A Borderless Digital Art World on a Burlap Table

The Mori Building Digital Art Museum: Epson teamLab Borderless (森ビル デジタルアート ミュージアム：エプソン チームラボーダレス), located in Mabutai Hills, focuses on the concept of "borderless". The works will flow and intertwine in the space, with no fixed viewing order, and the audience itself is part of the art.

In 2025, the annual attendance will be approximately 1.69 million. The space has also been selected as one of the most visited places in the world by TIME magazine's "World's Greatest Places 2024". For those who encounter teamLab for the first time, Borderless is more like an art labyrinth, where every time you turn a corner, you may enter a completely different universe of light and shadow.

Planets of Toyosu: Barefoot in Water and Light Immersive Experience

TeamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com (チームラボプラネッツ TOKYO DMM.com) in Toyosu is based on the core concept of "total immersion". Visitors are required to enter with bare feet, actually stepping on the water or soft ground, allowing the senses of sight and touch to participate in the art at the same time.

In 2025, there will be approximately 2.51 million annual visitors. It is also worth noting that Planets has twice been recognized as Asia's Leading Tourist Attraction in the World Travel Awards (2023 and 2025). Alongside world-class heritage sites such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal and Angkor Wat, Planets has been recognized as one of Asia's leading tourist attractions.

Visitors from around the world: high proportion of long-distance travelers

The proportion of international visitors that teamLab attracts in Tokyo is different from that of other Tokyo tourist attractions. In addition to Asian travelers, a high percentage of visitors come from long-distance countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This means that it has become a "Special Purpose" destination in the global travel market.

In addition, many international celebrities and creators have visited, further increasing its visibility in social media and art circles.
