You'll find this immersive nighttime art experience at the Nagai Botanical Garden in Osaka’s Higashisumiyoshi ward. Part of Nagai Park’s recent renewal project, the digital art installations in this botanical garden are intended to highlight the area's flora and present the site’s natural beauty in a new light. The immersive exhibits include a camellia garden of ovoids, where the sculptures appear reflective during the day but emit colourful lights after sundown and transform the surrounding forest.

Similar to the Galaxy & teamLab exhibition in Tokyo, this digital forest in Fukuoka lets you explore the space while discovering and catching different creatures with your smartphone. After capturing various creatures, you can study them and create your own collection book to document what you've caught. 

You can also get active in this space with the ‘Athletics Forest’ exhibition. Spaces include the 'Rapidly Rotating Bouncing Sphere', where you can jump on small spheres that rotate at high speed, and the 'Balance Stepping Stones' that challenge your balance over uneven terrain.

The permanent outdoor attraction in Higashi Tokorozawa Park in Saitama is home to the ‘teamLab: Resonating Life in the Acorn Forest’ exhibition, which is made up of two works. 

The first is 'Sunrise and Sunset: Autonomous Resonating Life – Liquified Light Color, Sunrise and Sunset’, which features large acorn-shaped objects spread across the park. During the day, the surface of these digital acorns reflects the surroundings like a mirror, effectively camouflaging them in the environment. In the evening, the acorns light up in different colours and synchronise based on the sounds around them. 

The second work, ‘Resonating Trees’, also revolves around colourful lights. Similar to the digital acorns, the lights here change colour according to sound patterns.

The historical Mifuneyama Rakuen in Saga prefecture, Kyushu is home to one of teamLab’s most unique exhibitions. The sprawling 500,000sqm grounds surround a small mountain and feature a garden, Edo-period teahouse and a modern hot spring resort.

Within this historical area you'll find 'teamLab Ruins and Heritage: Rinkan Spa & Tea Ceremony', with artworks installed in indoor spaces. One of the main exhibits is 'Megaliths in the Bath House Ruins', a stunning display of three-dimensional objects that jut out from the ground inside an abandoned bathhouse, with visuals rendered by a computer programme. 

In the warmer months, the area is transformed into another outdoor digital art exhibition, where the sacred forest becomes an after-dark spectacle that visitors can explore. Expect to see projection mapping displays light up ponds, rocks and waterfalls around the forest. This year, the outdoor exhibition will take place from July 14 to November 5 2023.

If you take a trip to visit the teamLab exhibition in Mifuneyama Rakuen, don’t forget to pop into the Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel as well. Inside the hotel lobby, you'll find 'Forest of Resonating Lamps', a permanent teamLab installation. The colours of the lamps change throughout the year depending on the season, so expect to see them in cherry-blossom pink for spring and shades of red in autumn.

Head to teamLab Gallery Matama Beach on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita prefecture to see the stunning interactive ‘Flowers and People, Cannot be Controlled but Live Together – Kunisaki Peninsula’. 

The installation consists of a walkway and a large open space that appears to go on indefinitely. Lining the walls of the walkway are projections of flowers that bud, grow and blossom before their petals wither and fade away. Depending on when you touch the flowers, they will either come to life or wither and die. The interactive artwork changes in real time and the projections can’t be replicated.
