The iconic series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is getting its first-ever official interactive permanent store, THE★JOJO WORLD, which will open on the 6th floor of Shibuya PARCO in summer 2025. To celebrate the announcement, new illustrations by original creator Hirohiko Araki have been revealed—sparking massive buzz among fans.

Among the nine JoJo protagonists, illustrations of two characters have been revealed first, believed by fans online to be Jonathan Joestar and Giorno Giovanna. Reactions have flooded social media with comments like “Is that Giorno and Jonathan?”, “Of course Jonathan’s super muscular, and I love Giorno’s sleek look”, and “This is absolutely amazing!”

Araki’s Art and New Experiences Await Fans Worldwide

Beloved by fans across the globe, the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series continues to expand its reach thanks to international streaming and translated editions. Bandai Namco Amusement, which has been producing the JOJO WORLD event series since 2021, has seen immense fan support through multiple event installments.

Now, that support has inspired the launch of THE★JOJO WORLD as a permanent experience hub in Shibuya, a cultural epicenter of Japanese pop culture. Unlike temporary pop-ups, this flagship store aims to provide a fully immersive JoJo experience to fans year-round.

What to Expect Inside THE★JOJO WORLD

THE★JOJO WORLD will offer a wide range of interactive experiences, including:

New Anime Visual Series “Spiral Staircase”: The first wave of exclusive illustrations.

Original Merchandise: Featuring new illustrations and limited-edition goods.

Mini-Games: Inspired by famous JoJo scenes, these games offer guaranteed prizes based on performance.

Attractions: Immersive activities designed to plunge fans into the bizarre world of JoJo.

Food & Drinks: Enjoy JoJo-themed dishes and beverages at the collaboration cafe IGGY CAFE.

The store will also feature new anime visuals released over time and merchandise using manga illustrations by Hirohiko Araki himself—making this an essential destination for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
