Round Trip Weekend

"Brace yourselves for the mind-bending journey that is TeamLabs Planets – a sensory rollercoaster that demands your attention and deserves every bit of it. Book your tickets in advance, like 30 days before, because this place gets sold out quickly.
Here's where it gets interesting – the moment you step in, it's all shoes off. Lock up your items and bags, and get ready for a sensory joyride. We had our trusty camera, but honestly, the phone did most of the heavy lifting.
Now, we aren’t going to give away any spoilers, but let me tell you, each room is a universe of its own. Details, surprises, and a splash warning:
Yes, you will get wet, especially from the knees down. So, dress smart, my friends, and dive into the unexpected. Oh, and this isn't a one-hit wonder. TeamLabs has other mind-blowing experiences scattered around Japan. We even hit up their Botanical Garden in Osaka. Check out our other guide that details Osaka.
They're the spice in your Tokyo adventure, a non-negotiable must-visit. And if you're coming straight from the Tsukiji Fish Market like we did, catch that bus down the street or hop off at the train station – they practically drop you off at the doorstep of TeamLabs. Wow, what an experience we are still in
awe from."

"Another experience I highly recommend you book in advance!
I have mixed feelings about this because on the one side, I got amazing pictures and we really had fun, and on the other side I really felt disappointed when I came out of there.
It is split into two areas, the water and the Earth. The water area is the first one you have to go for, it has many more rooms and it is so fun with all the water and lights things. It lasted almost 1h and set my expectations very high for the second area.
Well, the Earth one lasted 15 minutes in total as it had a few rooms and the one with flowers had limited time (we checked with a timer and it was 3 minutes exactly).
You will need to go barefoot at some point, so make sure your bottom is not too long!
I really could smell people's feet and felt a bit disgusted I was in the same water as millions of other tourists where all of us have been walking all day (for me this thought lasted a few seconds but consider this).
Overall, I don't regret going as I wanted to see if it is all the hype as it looked on socials and got not only amazing pictures but also a lot of fun with my partner.

"This is a truly unique experience. Go into it with zero expectations and the mindset of play to have the most fun.
A lot of people get carried away with what they THINK this will be and don't enjoy it to the MAX. Remember, you can go through multiple times at no additional cost, so why not enjoy yourself the first time and then film on the second walkthrough. Really enjoy yourself and feel like a kid again!
I highly recommend that you wear pants that reach around your knees or higher. There are mirrors on the floor, so avoid skirts. And some areas have water reaching up to your knees, so try to keep your clothes short and dry!
Be prepared to take off your shoes from the very beginning too. With that in mind, try to reach here before 2pm when loads of people would have already gone before you (to avoid that toe jam!)
