An eclectic and epic array of events, Tokyo’s immersive experiences in 2024 are bigger and better than ever, with Teamlabs Borderless now reopen and Tokyo Immersive Fort now open in Odaiba.
From teamlab to Tokyo Joypolis, Art Aquariums to Trick Art, there is an immersive event in Tokyo to suit all ages (and budgets), with some starting as low as 300 Yen per person.
Featuring Harry Potter, Studio Ghibli and a smidgeon of Mario (kind of), here is our guide to the best immersive events and experiences in Tokyo in 2024.
Plan My Japan tip – just under two thirds of these immersive experiences in Tokyo are based in the Odaiba neighbourhood (including the new Tokyo Odaiba Immersive Fort) so if you want to do several in one day, head out to Odaiba.

Best Tokyo Immersive Experiences
1. teamlab Planet Tokyo
The digital art museum teamLab Planets is one of Tokyo’s most famous immersive experiences and due to popular demand, has been extended until 2027!
teamLab Planets four large multimedia exhibition spaces and two gardens allow you to become one with the flowers and explore expanding three-dimensional existences – this is where art extends beyond traditional boundaries.
Tip – make sure you wear clothes that are above / can be rolled up over your knees, as part of the exhibition requires walking through water.
teamlab Planet Tokyo prices in 2024 start from 4,200 Yen per adult and 1,500 Yen for small children.

2. teamlab Borderless Tokyo
Reopened in February 2024, teamlab Borderless Tokyo is one of the biggest and best immersive events in Tokyo (and the whole of Japan really).
How best to describe the teamlab Borderless experience? One that is hard to accurately convey without seeing it for yourself, but it is essentially an all-encompassing digital museum without boundaries and borders, where you become part of the augmented reality artwork.
Artworks move in and out of the various rooms and intermingle seamlessly creating a fluid world for you to walk around and admire in awe.
From frozen wastelands to sublime seascapes, butterflies beyond borders to reversible rotating worlds, a trek through teamlab Borderless is like no other.
teamlab Borderless Tokyo prices in March 2024 start from 4,600 Yen per adult and 1,500 Yen for small children.
Note that teamlab Borderless tickets usually sell out weeks in advance so be sure to plan your visit in advance.

Plan My Japan Tip – Which teamlab is better? teamlab Borderless or teamlab Planets?
As of March 2024, they each receive a 4.6* rating on Google so both are equally well reviewed but Borderless is the bigger exhibition (and permanent), whilst teamLab Planets is supposed to end in 2027 (and is slightly cheaper than Borderless).

6. Unko museum / Poop Museum Tokyo
‘Poop culture’ at its finest and one of the ‘cr@ppiest’ immersive things to do in Tokyo – but in a good way!
Best described as a poop inspired Tokyo theme park, the Odaiba Unko Museum might not be for everyone (don’t poo-poo the idea) but kids will surely love it.
From big pink poos to colourful ‘cr@ps’, delightful dung to super sh!t attractions, Unko Museum in Odaiba is quite the weird and wonderful Tokyo attraction.
One of the immersive activities is to sit down on a toilet, yell “UNKOOOO!” and generate your own poop friend that will accompany you inside (we are not making this up) – or take a dive in a ‘poop-filled’ ball pit (!!!).

13. Ghibli Museum
We at ‘Plan My Japan’ are big Studio Ghibli fans, although we were disappointed with Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse at Ghibli Park in Nagoya (read our review here).
So if you are a Studio Ghibli fan, be sure to immerse yourself and be ‘Spirited Away’ at Tokyo’s Ghibli Museum. It allows guests from around the world to get up close to the magical world of Ghibli through interactive exhibits, behind the scenes displays and animation plus gorgeous gardens and themed rooms.
Whilst on the lower end of what we’d class a truly immersive experience, this is great for any die-hard Ghibli fans. Please note no photos are allowed inside the exhibition spaces.
Tickets to the Ghibli Museum in 2024 cost 1,000 Yen per adult and must be booked in advance (they often sell out in minutes).
Online sales for Ghibli Museum are through LAWSON TICKET and go on sale at 10 a.m. (JST) on the 10th of each month for the following month.

14. Tokyo Street Go Karting
You’ve played the video games but now you can actually whizz through the streets of Tokyo on go-karts dressed as gaming characters (but not officially as Mario, Luigi or Princess Daisy as Nintendo’s lawyers have put paid to that).
Tour Tokyo’s highlights and street landmarks in an iconic and immersive way dressed as comic characters and awesome anime favourites) seeing sights like the Skytree, Asakusa and Akihabara.
Tokyo street go-karting prices vary depending on the experience but most Tokyo go kart experiences cost between 15,000 Yen to 20,000 Yen per person as of March 2024.
