Teamlab borderless... is this a joke??
First… My cousin who is visiting wanted to go, so we went. I've been to the original teamlab on Odabai which is pretty cool, but borderless is literally the most boring exhibit I've been to in Japan.
First of all, the entire experience is just projectors shooting images onto walls. There's nothing else, besides one room with a bunch of hanging globes (which is kind of cool, but not comparable to anything in the original Teamlab which is much better).
That's it, you just walk around in the dark while projectors blast images onto the walls. It also looks like sh*t inside, don't be fooled by the posters which make it look like a laser light show... those have been heavily photoshopped.
NOT WORTH IT.
I think you went to the wrong one. There are two TeamLabs in Tokyo, Borderless in Azabudai Hills and Planets in Toyosu. Borderless is the newer one and it's more about that digital projection experience you described, but Planets is the one with the water rooms and the garden where you walk barefoot. If your cousin wants the physical, interactive stuff instead of just walking through a dark room with projectors, Planets is the one to book.
Yeah I get what you mean, it's a very different vibe from the Odaiba one. Honestly I think the whole teamLab thing is kind of overhyped at this point, it's all just Instagram bait.
fwiw the Odaiba one was always the better one. Borderless feels like they took the budget and just made it bigger without making it better.

Tokyo rent 2026: what are you actually paying?
I pay 128,000 for a 1LDK in Nakano, five minutes from the station, and I moved in last spring. Setagaya has crept up more because of the redevelopment around Futako-Tamagawa. For Levain bread, I'd look at Sasazuka or Daitabashi, one stop from Shinjuku, quieter, and you can walk to the bakery on weekends.
Worth checking the Nanpeidai side too, quiet but close.
Sangenjaya, 138,000 for a 1LDK.
138k tracks for that side of town, though the walk to Komazawa-dori is what really keeps those units priced where they are.
kyodo, 122k, moved this winter
