Fukuoka, where NILS is located, is famous not only for its delicious food and beautiful scenery but also for attractions that draw visitors from all over the world. One of the most popular is “teamLab Forest Fukuoka”.
Have you ever seen photos on social media of breathtaking spaces filled with glowing lights or colorful flowers stretching as far as the eye can see? Many of those images are works created by teamLab, a Japanese art collective.
Although there are countless art museums around the world, teamLab has become a must-visit destination for travelers, and tickets for its most popular exhibitions often sell out quickly.
So, what makes teamLab so fascinating?
Step Inside the Artwork
In a traditional museum, you simply look at the artwork. At teamLab, however, you become part of it.
As you walk through glowing spaces surrounded by flowers and flowing water, you feel as if you’ve stepped into the world of a movie.
A Moving Experience Beyond Language
One of the most amazing things about teamLab is that it doesn’t require words.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak Japanese or if you’re from a different country. The moment you see the magical scenery, you’ll probably find yourself saying, “Wow!”
The ability to share the same sense of wonder without language is one of the reasons people from all over the world love teamLab.
A New Way to Experience Japanese Beauty
Flowers bloom and fade, water flows, and the seasons change.
Using cutting-edge digital technology, teamLab expresses the beauty of nature that has been cherished in Japan for centuries.
The combination of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern technology creates a truly unique and immersive world.
A Place That Photos Can’t Fully Capture
Every photo of teamLab looks beautiful, and even seeing them on social media is exciting.
But when you actually stand inside the artwork, you can hear the sounds, feel surrounded by light, and watch the scenery change as you move.
Rather than simply seeing the art, you actually experience it.
Japan is known for its temples, shrines, and traditional culture, but it is also home to incredible contemporary art experiences like teamLab.
If you come to study Japanese at NILS, be sure to visit teamLab on one of your days off. Exploring Japanese art and culture is just as valuable as studying the language, and it can become one of the most memorable parts of your time in Japan.
A visit to teamLab is sure to become one of the unforgettable highlights of your stay in Japan.
