The first permanent experiential official store for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, THE★JOJO WORLD TOKYO, opened at Shibuya PARCO in July 2025. Its elaborate sets, immersive attractions, and massive merchandise lineup quickly turned it into a must-visit destination for fans.
Plans for an Osaka location were announced in July 2026, this time with an all-new concept centered on the franchise's villains. Officials have now confirmed that THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA will open on December 4, 2026, while also unveiling concept art for the venue and a DIO-led key visual that promises a very different side of the JoJo universe.
Opening just over a year after its Tokyo counterpart, this will be the second permanent THE★JOJO WORLD location. While the Tokyo store uses the Golden Spirit shared by generations of JoJos as its central theme, Osaka puts the franchise's many charismatic villains in the spotlight, giving fans a completely different experience.
Officials have also unveiled a newly drawn illustration of Dio Brando created by Hirohiko Araki for the store. More villains from across the series will be revealed later, along with their own merchandise.
Several interior concept images have also been released, but the biggest showstopper is easily the life-size DIO statue waiting inside. Expect this one to become an essential photo op for visiting fans.
The attractions revealed so far include:
▼ "SPW Foundation Latent Villainy Research Institute"
This attraction measures your hidden villain potential using two tests: a "Behavioral Danger Level," determined through physical challenges themed around villains from across the series, and a "Mental Evilness Level," assessed through multiple-choice questions. Based on the results, you will be matched with the closest fit from a roster of around 100 villains.
▼ "It's Back! Memetaa Ripple Roulette"
This prize game takes inspiration from the iconic scene in which Will Anthonio Zeppeli demonstrates Ripple by striking a frog sitting on a rock, producing the unforgettable sound effect "Memetaa!" Play the game and you could walk away with exclusive prizes.
▼ "Oh, That's a Baseball!!"
This prize game is based on the virtual baseball title Jotaro Kujo played during his battle with Telence T. D'Arby. Score a winning result and you can take home exclusive merchandise.
▼ "Polpo's Passione Recruitment Fortune-Telling"
Take Polpo's initiation test under the watchful eye of Black Sabbath. Relight the lighter given to you by Polpo, discover what fate has in store, and receive a printed fortune result.
The venue will also feature IGGY CAFE, serving light meals and drinks for visiting fans.
Officials say plenty more surprises are still to come. THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA opens on the 10th floor of LUCUA South in Umeda on December 4, 2026. Better yet, this is a permanent location, giving JoJo fans one more must-visit destination to add to their Osaka itinerary this winter.
