About teamLab Borderless
teamLab Borderless first opened in Odaiba in 2018 and reopened in 2024 in a new home at the Azabudai Hills complex in central Tokyo. Exhibits are produced by the Tokyo-based collective teamLab, founded by Toshiyuki Inoko.
Visitors wander a labyrinth of darkened rooms where projected digital works move between spaces, dissolve into one another, and respond to human presence — there are no maps and no prescribed route.
Signature works include the Forest of Resonating Lamps, the Crystal World of LED light, and immersive flower and waterfall installations that blur the boundary between art, technology, and environment.
Only timed online tickets are sold — book well in advance, especially on weekends and holidays.
