teamLab Planets TOKYO closes for maintenance on 1 October

teamLab Planets TOKYO will close to visitors on 1 October 2026, a scheduled closure affecting the digital art museum in Toyosu, Tokyo. The venue, also presented in Japanese as teamLab Planets TOKYO, remains scheduled to operate until the end of 2027.
The closure is listed alongside the museum's visitor information and is separate from its regular programme. For travellers planning an autumn visit to Japan, 1 October is therefore the date to avoid when arranging a visit to the water-based installations.
teamLab Planets TOKYO closure is set for 1 October
The operator lists Thursday, 1 October, as a closed day for teamLab Planets TOKYO. The same official information identifies the venue as being at Toyosu 6-1-16, Koto-ku, Tokyo, and gives a second closure date of 5 November.
The museum's published term runs from 7 July 2018 until the end of 2027. That means the October closure is a temporary interruption within a longer operating period, rather than an announcement that the venue is ending its run. The official visitor information also names PLANETS Co., Ltd and DMM.com among the organisers.
Water and light installations remain the central experience
The museum describes itself as a place where visitors walk through water and become physically involved in large-scale artworks. Its Water area includes Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and People - Infinity, where the movement of visitors affects the digital koi and the flowers produced when they meet people.
Other named works include The Infinite Crystal Universe, Body of Waves and Floating Flower Garden. The Garden section contains living orchids, while the Athletics Forest combines interactive works involving balance, movement and digital creatures. This connection between the closure date and the site matters because the affected visit is not a conventional gallery tour: some installations require bare feet, water and movement through dark or mirrored spaces.
The venue's Tokyo visitor guide places the museum in Toyosu and describes its Water, Garden, Forest and Open-Air areas. The Toyosu setting also distinguishes it from teamLab Borderless, a separate museum in another part of Tokyo.
