Exciting news for fans of Hirohiko Araki's iconic series, ‘JoJo's Bizarre Adventure’! On July 24, 2025, Bandai Namco Experience is set to inaugurate the first official experiential shop dedicated to this beloved franchise, named
THE★JOJO WORLD, located on the sixth floor of Shibuya PARCO in Tokyo.
The anticipation for this grand opening is palpable, as the venue will showcase unique illustrations created specifically for the shop by the series’ esteemed creator, Hirohiko Araki. Fans can expect to see striking artworks that feature the nine main protagonists, prominently displayed outside the store and integrated into the shop's exclusive merchandise.
To ensure a smooth visiting experience and to manage crowd control, entry will require a reservation starting from its opening day.

On June 5, 2025, the reservation system for both the general admission and the pre-opening day will commence. Alongside this, the shop will release various limited-edition items and collectables for fans to enjoy and take home. The first round of reservations will cover visits from July 24 to July 31, and a second round from August 1 to August 17. Full details on the reservation process can be found on the official website.
An Immersive Experience Awaits!
Once inside THE★JOJO WORLD, visitors are invited to explore a uniquely designed interior that reflects the aesthetic of the JoJo universe. The store will feature a vast array of merchandise from stunning posters to quirky keychains showcasing beloved characters. Notably, a specially designed area will allow fans to engage in mini-games and attractions inspired by memorable moments from the series.
The merchandise lineup will include original goods featuring character art, such as the B3 Aurora posters, hologram badges, and plush mascots, among other novelty items. Excitingly, JoJo-themed items like gourmet treats will be available at 'IGGY CAFE', where visitors can indulge in thematic food and beverages, such as the Iggy donut drink set and special desserts.
Mini-Games Galore!
The shop promises to be more than just a retail space; it will also serve as an entertainment hub with carefully crafted mini-games. One game mixes nostalgia with excitement, allowing participants to test their skills in a simplified homage to Jonathan Joestar's training. Participants can compete for prizes based on their performance, resulting in exclusive JoJo-themed rewards like acrylic boards and unique keychains.
