After the busy day yesterday, we only did a few things today. On the way to Tokyo station we walked through Akasaka, and stopped at the Harry Potter store.
At Tokyo train station I picked up the tickets I'd bought online for going to Onomichi in a couple of days. While at the station we saw the 'Character street' full of anime-like shops, and the 'Ramen street' in the basement level. We also checked out the 'Gourmet street' on the 2nd floor and decided to come back for dinner.
Today we had tickets for teamLab Planets, an immersion audio-visual experience in a huge facility in the newer part of Tokyo on reclaimed land, several train stops east of Tokyo station.
TeamLab Planets was divided into sections called Forest, Garden, and Water. The creativity and the scale of the experiences was mind-blowing.
The Forest section had interactive projections on the walls, and activities like walking on bubbles of light and 'catching' projections of animals using an app on your phone.
The most impressive part of the Garden section was a room full of hanging, live orchids.
My favourite section was water. You actually took off your shoes and rolled up your pants to we in water, that somehow had projection on it that looked like fish swimming in it.
There was also an amazing room of long, hanging crystals of light with mirrors on all sides.
After teamLab Planets we went back to the station to have dinner at a place in the Gourmet street. Then back to the hotel for an early night.
