teamLab in Tokyo: The Museums, and Where Planets Fits

Tokyo has two teamLab museums: teamLab Planets in Toyosu and teamLab Borderless at Azabudai Hills. Together they welcomed over 4.2 million visitors in 2025, about 2.51 million at Planets and 1.69 million at Borderless (teamLab, from official ticket data). They are different museums, not branches of one: Planets is the barefoot, walk-through-water one, with a term that ends at the end of 2027; Borderless is a maze of rooms you wander in your shoes, listed as permanent.

How many teamLab museums Tokyo has

Two dedicated museums. teamLab’s own list of its Tokyo venues also includes MoonFlower Sagaya Ginza, Art by teamLab, a restaurant with teamLab artworks (since April 2017), and a public artwork, Universe of Water Particles on the Living Wall, at GINZA SIX (since April 2017). Neither of those is a museum visit. Elsewhere in Japan, teamLab lists teamLab Biovortex Kyoto, open since October 2025.
