GPS Coordinates
Exact Location
TeamLab Borderless Azabudai Hills, multiple rooms provide unique photo opportunities. GPS: 35.6241° N, 139.7946° E. Key spots: Forest of Resonating Lamps (mirror infinity room), Athletics Forest (digital trampolines), and Wander Through the Crystal World (LED light installation).
How to Find It
Take the Hibiya Line to Kamiyacho Station, exit 1B (5-min walk), or Oedo Line to Azabu-Juban Station (8-min walk). Follow signs to Azabudai Hills. TeamLab Borderless is on the basement floor. Book tickets online in advance—often sells out weeks ahead. Entry is timed, arrive on time.
Timing Recommendations
Weekday mornings (10-11 AM) right when it opens for fewer crowds. You'll have rooms nearly to yourself for clean shots. Avoid weekends and holidays. The museum is entirely indoors, so weather doesn't matter. Allow 2-3 hours to explore fully.
Crowd Levels
Recommended Settings
Low light specialist needed: f/1.8-f/2.8 (wide aperture), ISO 1600-3200, 1/60 sec minimum to avoid motion blur. Bring a fast lens (50mm f/1.8 or 35mm f/1.4). Turn off flash—it ruins the digital projections. Night mode on iPhone works surprisingly well here.
Equipment Needed
In the Forest of Lamps, position yourself to capture infinite reflections. Wear solid bright colors to contrast with the digital projections. In the Crystal World, shoot from inside looking out for immersive perspective. Capture movement as digital butterflies or flowers flow around you.
Reach out to touch digital butterflies or flowers. Sit in the center of the lamp room with infinity reflections around you. Jump on the digital trampolines (Athletics Forest). Lie down in the flower field room (yes, it's allowed). Walk through the cascading digital waterfall.

Year-round—book 3-4 weeks ahead regardless of season
Seasonal Changes
Indoor museum unaffected by weather or seasons. Digital installations change periodically, so return visits offer new experiences. Summer is comfortable escape from Tokyo heat. Winter is cozy respite from cold. Book further in advance during Japanese holiday periods (Golden Week, New Year).
Bright solid colors show up best against dark projection backgrounds: white, yellow, hot pink, or electric blue. Avoid busy patterns that clash with digital art. Flowing fabrics create beautiful movement in photos. Remove shoes for some installations (bring clean socks). All-black creates dramatic silhouettes but may disappear in dark rooms.
Fully wheelchair accessible with elevators. However, some rooms have dark, uneven terrain (Athletics Forest has trampolines). Strobe lights may trigger photosensitivity. Wheelchairs can access 90% of installations. Staff assistance available upon request.
