You might’ve seen clips or pictures online of this immersive exhibit that people are visiting in Tokyo. This place is called teamlab Planets, where they have several art exhibits that were all interactive in some way! It’s completely bare foot, but they “wash” everyone’s feet before they enter each room. My favourite room was the lights/mirrors room, it was also the first one people entered. It was just so ethereal and the lights changed according to the music! They also had several other rooms, including one with water at calf level, those silver eggs in an outdoor exhibit and finally the hanging flowers room. This room was so pretty and it was really interesting as the flowers were all real and kept at a specific temperature! 💐
We decided to go at the first slot in hopes of taking more pictures with less people, but unfortunately it seems like everyone else had the same idea, since it felt so packed even if it was 9:30am! We still got a few good shots in for everyone. 📸
All 5 of us were there except Maya, who decided to stay around Tokyo and explore on her own.
This day was also the first day of Ultra Japan. Since teamlabs was so close to the Ultra venue, Farheen and I decided to stay in the area, and the rest of them explore Tokyo themselves. Farheen and I went to the Gundam statue as well as Diver City Plaza. Diver city is a big mall with several floors of stores and food spots! We were starving since we didn’t really eat breakfast when we left, so we got soba noodles for lunch! It was so delicious! 😋
We got ready in the washroom before going to Ultra, as were many other girls. We entered the venue after picking up our wrist bands, and it was so nice! They had a smaller stage, called Resistance, and of course the main stage. That day we were looking forward to Endless Summer, Hardwell, Axwell X Ingrosso and DJ Snake! I have to say all of them were great, but Hardwell and DJ Snake were my favourites! Farheen and I were pretty close to the stage for the first two artists but it might have been a small mistake cause it was so crowded and that day was especially sunny and hot… 🥵 We were both dying from the heat, and sadly didn’t have water. During the Axwell X Ingrosso set, we decided to leave the crowd in search for water and somewhere with less people. We got our drinks and ended up staying closer to the back since it had more space to move and breathe. We also met some really nice girls who took cute pics of us and even signed Farheen’s Canadian flag! DJ snake was last and did not disappoint! We left around 9pm but didn’t get home till about 10pm cause it was so packed to leave the venue and on the subways. Since many restaurants were closed by then, we just grabbed a quick dinner from the convenience store and went to bed 😴Read more
