If you can't get TeamLab tickets...
So you get to Japan, but the teamLab tickets are sold out….don't let it affect your trip though! You can always hit them up next time, but here are some exhibits that you can hit up. And trust me, they won't disappoint.
It's really surprising that this isn't a teamLab exhibit because it has the same aesthetics. However the difference is that this is goldfish themed! So if you're a goldfish fan and you want to see some crazy lights and exhibits, this is the place for...

This is Nara's version of Aquarium Art, but with all new and aesthetic exhibits! If I was doing Nara and Tokyo in the same trip, I would probably book both cause I never get tired of goldfish!
Nara Kingyo Museum
