TeamLab Borderless is a permanent digital art museum that moved to a new location in Azabudai Hills in 2024 after closing its Odaiba venue. Here is the complete guide to the new location, tickets, and what makes it worth visiting.
The original teamLab Borderless in Odaiba was one of the most visited art museums in the world during its operation from 2018 to 2024. The new venue at Azabudai Hills in Minato Ward opened in February 2024 and significantly expanded the total space. The concept remains: a museum without maps or fixed routes where digital art flows between rooms without boundaries.
The New Location: Azabudai Hills
teamLab Borderless is now at Azabudai Hills, a large mixed-use development in Minato Ward that opened in November 2023. The address: Azabudai Hills Garage, 5-4-1 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The nearest stations are Roppongi-itchome on the Namboku Line and Toranomon Hills on the Hibiya Line (both about a 5-minute walk).The The
Azabudai Hills themselves are worth arriving for. The development includes the Mori JP Tower (one of Tokyo’s tallest), the Aman Tokyo hotel, the Janu Tokyo hotel, extensive dining and retail, and the teamLab Borderless venue in the underground Garage section.

What to Expect Inside
teamLab Borderless operates on a genuinely borderless concept: there is no map, no suggested route, and no single correct path through the museum. The digital artworks flow across rooms, walls, floors, and ceilings without fixed boundaries. Walking into one room affects the art in the adjacent room. The intention is for every visitor to experience a different sequence.
Major permanent zones include: the Forest of Resonating Lamps (crystals that change colour and ripple when touched), the Floating Nest (a climbing structure surrounded by digital flowers), En Tea House (tea drinking within an art installation), and multiple large immersive rooms where projections cover all surfaces, floor to ceiling.
Time needed: A minimum of 90 minutes, more comfortably 2.5 to 3 hours. There is no time limit once inside.
teamLab Borderless vs teamLab Planets
The two teamLab venues in Tokyo are distinct experiences. Borderless is larger, has no fixed route, and emphasizes the movement between interconnected environments. Planets is smaller, has a specific guided route through fewer but more immersive rooms, and includes the famous water room. Planets is located in Toyosu and is a shorter visit. Both are worth doing if time allows. The teamLab Planets guide covers the Toyosu venue separately.
Practical Tips
Wear socks: Required throughout the venue. Staff enforce this. White socks are recommended as they glow under UV light in several rooms.
Bags: Large bags must be stored in lockers at the entrance. Small bags are permitted inside.
Photography: Permitted throughout. The venue is designed for photography. No tripods or selfie sticks.
