THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA will open at LUCUA South in winter 2026, focused on the villains. New art of DIO by Hirohiko Araki revealed.
Bandai Namco Experience has announced that THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA, a permanent experiential official store based on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, will open on the 10th floor of LUCUA South in Umeda, Osaka, in winter 2026.
Unlike THE★JOJO WORLD TOKYO, which centers its design and attractions around the protagonists of the series, the Osaka location will take the opposing concept of “evil.” The store’s interior and environmental effects will highlight the appeal of the villains and other forms of evil that play an essential role throughout JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, offering an atmosphere distinct from the Tokyo store.

Store Details
The 584.4-square-meter facility will sell the existing line of THE★JOJO WORLD original merchandise alongside products exclusive to the Osaka location. It will also feature a new attraction currently being planned and developed for the store’s opening, allowing visitors to further experience the world of the series.
An IGGY CAFE will be located inside the facility, serving food and drinks inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Admission to the store will be free, and its regular operating hours are scheduled to be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The original THE★JOJO WORLD permanent store opened at Shibuya PARCO on July 24, 2025. According to Bandai Namco Experience, its immersive interior, environmental presentation, and exclusive merchandise have attracted large numbers of visitors since its opening.
Bandai Namco Experience’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure experiential events began with the traveling JOJO WORLD event in 2021. The project later expanded through pop-up events in the United Kingdom and the United States, followed by the opening of the permanent Tokyo store in 2025. A North American tour is also planned to begin in fall 2026.
THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA will be located at LUCUA South 10F, 3-1-1 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka. Further details regarding its attractions, exclusive merchandise, café menu, and opening date will be announced at a later time.
