On our last day in Tokyo we went to TeamLab Planets, an interactive art exhibit that is just really cool. There’s no way to describe it well or capture it on video, so you’ll just have to come see it.

According to their website:

“Together with Others, Immerse your Entire Body, Perceive with your Body, and Become One with the World

teamLab Planets is a museum where you walk through water, and a garden where you become one with the flowers. It comprises 4 large-scale artwork spaces and 2 gardens created by art collective teamLab.

People go barefoot and immerse their entire bodies in the vast artworks together with others. The artworks change under the presence of people, blurring the perception of boundaries between the self and the works. Other people also create change in the artworks, blurring the boundaries between themselves and the works, and creating a continuity between the self, the art, and others.”

Neither of us are big into art but I’ve gotta say this exhibit was actually really cool.

After some last minute Tokyo food, subway confusion, and Pokémon Go playing, it was time to head home to Misawa. When we arrived it was in the 40s to 50s and it has already snowed north of us in nearby Hokkaido prefecture. Time to get out the coats!
