teamLab Planets Exhibits: Complete Guide to All Artworks in Tokyo
Visiting art galleries takes on a whole new meaning at teamLab Planets Tokyo in Toyosu, where the Japanese digital art collective teamLab turns entire rooms into living, responsive artworks. This is a place where artistry meets technology and you become part of the exhibit: wade through a knee‑deep water room where digital koi scatter and bloom into flowers, step into a mirrored chamber filled with endless points of crystal light, and wander through a garden of giant floating flowers that rise and fall around you.
Across the teamLab Planets exhibits, you don’t just look at art; you touch it, walk through it, and influence it. Light, sound, water, and scent shift as you move, so every visit feels slightly different. From the Infinite Crystal Universe to the koi water surface and the Moss Garden, each space is designed as a full‑body, immersive experience that goes far beyond traditional gallery viewing.

The Infinite Crystal Universe
This captivating exhibition envelops visitors in a dazzling matrix of light. Dynamic points of illumination give the illusion of an infinite universe. Visitors use their smartphones to “throw” stars into the space, where they are reborn as three‑dimensional light forms that shift and interact with people and other stars.
Duration: Approximately 15–20 minutes
Location: Central area of teamLab Planets
Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and People – Infinity
Koi swim across a water surface that appears to stretch into infinity. As visitors wade in, the koi react to their presence; when they collide with people, the fish transform into flowers and scatter. The flowers and koi trajectories are rendered in real time, so no two moments are ever the same.
Duration: Roughly 20–30 minutes
Location: Water area, central–west section of teamLab Planets
Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers
A seasonal cycle of flowers blooms, scatters, and withers in an endless loop, creating the feeling of floating in a floral universe. Lying or sitting still makes your body appear to dissolve into the artwork as petals drift around you.

Location: North wing of teamLab Planets
Expanding Three-dimensional Existence in Transforming Space – Flattening 3 Colors and 9 Blurred Colors
The room is filled with spheres of light that shift between a 3D space and a flat color wall. When visitors push or move through the spheres, they change color and emit tones that resonate through neighboring spheres, transforming the entire space.

Duration: Around 15–20 minutes
Location: Central–west section of teamLab Planets
Waterfall of Ephemeral Crystals
Based on an earlier work inspired by a natural waterfall in Shikoku, this piece shows light reflecting off water particles to create a cascading waterfall of light. In the darkness, afterimages of shining particles draw lines in space, forming a luminous waterfall that never repeats.
Duration: Typically 10–15 minutes
Location: East section of teamLab Planets
Floating Flower Garden: Flowers and I are of the Same Root, the Garden and I are One

Moss Garden of Resonating Microcosms – Solidified Light Color, Dusk to Dawn
