Digital Art Museums in Tokyo
Part of the Tokyo travel guide — see every topic in All Tokyo Guides.
Tokyo is one of the best cities in the world for digital and modern art. The two teamLab museums have timed tickets that often sell out at weekends. Book online 1–3 weeks ahead and go on a weekday morning.
teamLab Borderless
teamLab Borderless reopened in February 2024 inside Azabudai Hills, a few minutes' walk from Kamiyacho Station on the Hibiya line. The rooms have no fixed borders: light, flowers and water move from room to room and react to people. Allow 2–3 hours. Adult tickets cost about ¥3,800–4,800, depending on the date. Wear flat shoes; some rooms have slopes and mirrors.
teamLab Planets
teamLab Planets is in Toyosu, 1 minute from Shin-Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome line. You walk barefoot, and in some rooms the water comes up to your knees, so wear shorts or trousers that roll up; free lockers are provided. A visit takes about 1.5–2 hours. Adult tickets cost about ¥3,600–4,200. It is planned to stay open until the end of 2027.
Mori Art Museum and Tokyo Node
The Mori Art Museum, on the 53rd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, shows big contemporary art exhibitions and stays open until 22:00 on most days, so you can add the night view from Tokyo City View. Tickets cost about ¥2,000–2,500, depending on the show. Tokyo Node, at the top of Toranomon Hills Station Tower, hosts changing digital and immersive shows.
Ghibli Museum, Mitaka
The Ghibli Museum shows the drawings and short films of Studio Ghibli. Adult tickets cost ¥1,000 and are sold only in advance, online, from 10:00 Japan time on the 10th of the month before your visit; they go fast. It is about 15 minutes' walk from Mitaka Station or through Inokashira Park from Kichijoji, and it is closed on Tuesdays.
