  • Odaiba is known for its over-the-top attractions

  • Lke it's the giant ferris wheel, futuristic-looking bridges, massive Gundam robot and big touristy spaces.

  • The massive Gundam robot

  • Joshua, you're the size of that dude's big toe!

  • My goodness!

  • But today we're heading inside to a place called Teamlabs Borderless

  • where a one-of-a-kind experience awaits us.

  • Rebecca, what did they say about this place?

  • It's dark and... It's dark...

  • It's hard to find some rooms

  • Becca, hold my hand! I don't want to.

  • Let's remember where we... whoa! Whoa!

  • Oh my.

  • Let's go. What about over here?

  • Look at thiswhoa!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • Look over there Mommy!

  • Wow - oh look there's butterflies in here too.

  • Look, if you touch it... It falls down.

  • That is crazy. It's like you're inside a Disney movie or something.

  • We killed all the butterflies!

  • Floating Nest

  • They say this one happens on a net so you have to watch your step.

  • Whoa

  • It's starting, Sarah!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • Whoa!

  • Where you going Anna? Careful Anna!

  • Oh is that Becca! Oh Becca!

  • Do you think we're moving or the net?

  • No, we're staying still.

  • Whoa, some little kid is not enjoying it.

  • [kid crying]

  • Whoa, climb out. Climb out, Sarah.

  • The rooms are all connected by large hallways,

  • but as we would soon find out, they don't keep the same appearance.

  • That's interesting, it almost looks like Kanji.

  • Some Kanji strokes, huh?

  • Don't fall! Catch it! Catch it!

  • Oh, what what what?

  • Whoa!

  • Anna found a secret room?

  • Whoa!

  • Oh, a secret stairway up

  • Whoa!

  • Cool, it's like an observation deck

  • Look down

  • Oh that's cool because we were right down there, weren't we?

  • Very cool.

  • Oh, like little frogs.

  • Oh, here was the room that we were just above and now we can see it

  • Whoa, look that's a mirror way over there!

  • The main room in the middle is massive and multi-faceted, giving you lots of different scenes to enjoy.

  • But the best discoveries lie off of this room behind dark curtains you almost have to stumble across to find.

  • Look- Mommy spotted what we think is a special room.

  • Let's go in. Let's see, let's see!

  • Whoa!

  • Whoa! Oh my goodness!

  • Whoa! Look at this, guys!

  • Whoa!

  • Whoa, look at the floor!

  • Dude, how about that?

  • There's Momma-chan, hi Momma-chan!

  • Let's all look here and I'll take a picture!

  • Look at here guys! 1, 2, 3

  • Wow!

  • Oh my goodness! This is psychedelic!

  • Wow

  • That's almost worth staying in.

  • With so many rooms and constantly changing art, it's easily to get disoriented.

  • This is very cool. You have to watch your step.

  • Watch your step Dude.

  • Ohh

  • Whoa, that looks massive.

  • So there's mirrors all over.

  • OK you have to go around it. You have to find your way through it.

  • OK, right here.

  • It was quite a sensation, trying to figure out where to go and from where you came.

  • More than once we got turned around and lost sense of direction!

  • OK, it's the other side then. We get so lost in here!

  • You do get so lost in here, don't you?

  • It changes every time.

  • Forest of Resonating Lamps

  • My goodness!

  • Oh, this is going to be cool to try.

  • It's like Rapunzel.

  • Whoa!

  • Here, let's get a picture. I want to get a picture with all of us!

  • OK right there, smile.

  • Joshua, look at Mommy. Don't touch it.

  • 1, 2, 3

  • It got all blue, didn't it?

  • That is so cool. You know what, you could easily got lost in here, huh?

  • Joshua, look at mommy.

  • There's where they just closed the door.

  • Would you be able to know which way is out?

  • 1, 2, 3

  • Don't run into them.

  • Yeah, go around them!

  • Go under them. Go around them!

  • The exit, oh here it is!

  • Whoa!

  • Thank you!

  • A dark chasm. Oh, you've gotta go this way.

  • It's like a rest room, huh?

  • With lots and lots of waves.

  • Lots and lots of waves.

  • This is really wild, isn't it?

  • My goodness. OK let's go this way.

  • Where's Sarah?! Right here.

  • Sarah Bear, we didn't lose yougood!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • Oh it goes up if you go this way.

  • How cool is that?!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • These are like drums.

  • Yea, they are!

  • There's Anna-cakes!

  • Here they come! This is a fun little forest.

  • Light Sculpture Space

  • Oh my freaky freaky!

  • It's like a rock concert

  • It stinks.

  • It stinks? That's the smoke you're smelling.

  • It is like a rock concert!

  • There were so many rooms to see that we moved quickly from one to the next,

  • but you got the impression that you could stay a long time in any given room and not see the same thing.

  • All the exploration had made us hungry, so we found a room to have some lunch.

  • So, what was your favorite part so far, Joshua?

  • The movie. The movie?

  • What's the movie? The one where we laid on the net? Yea.

  • I have a favorite. It was that one room with all the lights that hung down.

  • Like the Rapunzel place?

  • Yea-no. That was cool

  • That was really cool.

  • But my favorite were those other ones that looked like rain.

  • After lunch some of Ruth's family met up with us and we explored the second floor,

  • where Teamlabs started to show off just how cool it really could be.

  • It's a giant slide.

  • Whoa! Anna went cruising!

  • Whoa

  • Whoa, Joshua what a start!

  • Look at your shirt!

  • Climbing, climbing through the clouds, are you almost ready Sarah?

  • Oh, and here's Anna coming through.

  • Whoa Sarah!

  • There you go.

  • The first floor was a lot of fun, but the kids especially loved the second floor, full of activities for kids their age.

  • Anna Cakes! Sitting in a tree-house, it looks like.

  • And there's Becca

  • And here's Sarah and Sophia working their way through here, whoa!

  • Dude, you made it to the end! Way to go!

  • Good job! I made it!

  • Yeah, alright!

  • There were all kinds of fun, trippy experiences to be had on the second floor!

  • There goes Becca. No problem, huh?

  • Whoa Joshua, so fast!

  • Here we go.

  • Oo. Oo, tricky tricky tricky.

  • I couldn't let the kids have all the fun themselves — I had to try it for myself!

  • I'm just a big kid at heart!

  • A room full of eggs!

  • Oh my goodness, this is weird!

  • I saw some kids

  • Oh! Hey Dude.

  • Whoa! Uh oh!

  • The second floor had a room with interactive wall art.

  • It was kind of like being in a video game!

  • If you move the stuff than all the people try to run on it?

  • Oh that's cool! Look at that!

  • And they work their way out of it.

  • Look at that, that's cool!

  • Becca caught a ton of elves, huh?

  • But the kids' favorite station of all was at the end.

  • I want to draw a picture of a lizard.

  • A lizard? There's a lizard, right down there Sarah.

  • You could make your own art and add it into the digital world.

  • Looks like they have flowers and frogs and all kinds of stuff, huh?

  • Alright, Sarah's getting started on her lizard!

  • Anna's doing a mega-psychedelic frog!

  • It's the Life in Japan lizard, huh?

  • Once you choose an option and color it,

  • it is scanned into the computer where it is brought to digital life and enters the virtual world.

  • Here we go Joshua, it's going to scan it in!

  • OK there you go, now you got to go find it!

  • Ok!

  • Oh there it is! Oh! Oh Dude!

  • Oh my goodness!

  • How cool is that? It's just like that, isn't it?!

  • Did you give him a name?

  • Yea. It is Kawa.

  • Kawa? Like River?

  • That's cool.

  • Here goes Anna's!

  • Oh! Oh there goes your frog! It's fast, Anna!

  • Where'd it go? I don't know.

  • Oh, look at that!

  • Oh, so cute!

  • Oh found it, Anna!

  • Anna's frog. There it is!

  • We found it!

  • Oh you stepped on it! Oh you found it!

  • Becca even brought her own personalized flower to life.

  • Flowers this time — some petals, nice.

  • Yeah, mine is everywhere!

  • Teamlabs Borderless was a great experience that took us several hours to go through.

  • If you want to experience it for yourself, you better hurry, as it is closing for good at the end of this summer!

  • Thanks for watching and subscribing to life in Japan! See you next time!

  • We're done, we're out! Wow!
