Since 2021, Bandai Namco Amusement has been operating the interactive “JOJO WORLD” event, offering various JoJo-themed goods, minigames, and food. The event’s success led to Bandai Namco launching a second and third installment, with JOJO WORLD 3 beginning on April 4, 2025. Additionally, the expansion of translated publications and streaming platforms has made it easier for overseas audiences to enjoy the manga and anime just as they do in Japan, resulting in a growing international JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fan base.
Thanks to JOJO WORLD’s strong reception and the expanding fan community, Bandai Namco is opening “THE★JOJO WORLD” as a permanent store in Shibuya, Japan.
THE★JOJO WORLD
THE★JOJO WORLD will be on the sixth floor of the Shibuya PARCO shopping mall in Shibuya, Japan as a permanent store. The store’s business hours will be from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM (21:00) JST.
It will feature attractions and minigames similar to the previous JOJO WORLD events. Alongside original goods and minigame prizes featuring newly drawn anime illustrations, the store will also introduce merchandise using artwork from the original manga.
A Stand arrow is displayed at the entrance and the interior of the store spreads out like a corridor. The official site teases that you can “touch the arrow to embark on a bizarre adventure with new powers.” In addition, the collaboration café “IGGY CAFÉ“ will feature themed menu items.
