The JOJO World Osaka lottery: how to enter, step by step

Everything below is from the operator’s entry notice of 28 October 2026 and the Livepocket booking page. Both are Japanese only. Here’s the English version.

Step 1 — Get a Livepocket account. Livepocket is a Japanese ticketing site. Sign up before you apply. Its help pages cover mobile-number authentication, so have your phone to hand.

Step 2 — Apply between 28 October (11:00) and 15 November 2026 (23:59 JST). Open the Grand Opening booking page, pick a date between 4 and 13 December, and request 1 or 2 tickets. One applicant gets one slot of up to two tickets. You can’t add a companion later, and you can’t change the booking once it’s done. Booking is free; no card is charged.

Step 3 — Check results from 19 November, around 12:00 JST. Winners can view the ticket in Livepocket’s My Page.

Step 4 — Lost? Try the leftovers from 21 November. Unclaimed slots go on sale first come, first served, until 19:00 on each entry day. The operator’s notice and 28 October press release say 11:00 JST; the Livepocket page says 12:00. Be online at 11:00 to be safe. Leftovers may not exist for every date.

Step 5 — Turn up at your time, together. Go to the shop entrance on LUCUA SOUTH 10F at or before the time on your ticket. Queues run in booking-number order; arrive late and you go to the back. If you booked for two, both of you arrive together.

Step 6 — Show the live QR code, plus ID if asked. Screenshots may be refused. Staff can ask for a passport or My Number Card and ask you questions. The notice is blunt: if you can’t talk to staff or answer yourself, you can be turned away. Suspected resellers are refused, and tickets can’t be transferred.

No ticket? Same-day tickets are not sold at the shop for 4–13 December. Rules from Monday 14 December are TBA — we’ll update this page when they land.

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Apply for a weekday (7–11 December) rather than the opening weekend. Want in a day early? A separate pre-opening invitation lottery for Thursday 3 December is open on Livepocket until 23:59 on Sunday 8 November: one ticket per person, results from about 12:00 on 10 November.

The LUCUA floor question: LUCUA SOUTH says its 10F–13F “LUCUA Characters World” will run on lottery or first-come entry tickets “for the time being” after it opens on 24 November (LUCUA SOUTH). JR West’s release says you can’t enter those floors without one, and neither LUCUA nor the operator has said how that interacts with a JOJO booking (JR West). We expect your Livepocket ticket to be what counts for JOJO WORLD, but that’s Expected, not Confirmed — check both pages the week you go.

What’s inside JOJO World Osaka (and what it costs)

The theme is “悪” — evil. The official experience page lists five paid experiences. Prices are from the operator’s 28 October press release unless noted.

1. SPW Foundation Latent Villainy Research Institute (Attraction)

The Lowdown: The headline attraction and new for Osaka. You do a six-question “mental evilness” test and a six-part physical “behavioural danger” test, then get matched to one of about 100 villains. You leave with a photo of your result.

Where: LUCUA SOUTH 10F, inside the shop

The Vibe: Personality quiz meets arcade booth

Price: ¥990 per play

ลิงก์ทางการ: THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA — Experience

💡 Japan Pro Tip: This is the one area where photos and video are banned while you play. Film the queue, not the test.

2. Ripple Roulette — “Memetaa!” (Mini-game)

The Lowdown: A digital prize draw built around the famous “Memetaa!” frog-punch sound effect from Part 1. Prizes: A, an acrylic board (14 designs, you choose); B, an acrylic stand (14, you choose); C, a die-cut sticker (28, random).

Where: LUCUA SOUTH 10F

The Vibe: Quick, loud, very collectable

Price: ¥660 per play

ลิงก์ทางการ: Experience page

💡 Japan Pro Tip: A and B prizes let you pick the design, so decide your favourite before you play.

3. Aim for a Home Run! OH! That’s a BASEBALL!! (Mini-game)

The Lowdown: A returning Shibuya favourite, themed on the baseball video game from the Part 3 D’Arby fight. Every prize features Jotaro: a cap keyring or drawstring pouch (A), acrylic keyrings (B, 8 designs) or square can badges (C, 15, random).

Where: LUCUA SOUTH 10F

The Vibe: Retro TV game energy

Price: ¥660 per play

ลิงก์ทางการ: Experience page

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Jotaro fans should do this one first. C prizes are random.

4. Polpo’s Passione Initiation Fortune (Fortune)

The Lowdown: You relight Polpo’s lighter — yes, that lighter — and get a fortune. A Golden Wind in-joke you’ll either love or not get.

Where: LUCUA SOUTH 10F

The Vibe: Omikuji, mafia edition

Price: ¥400 per go (16 possible fortunes; draw one of the two worst and you can swap it for a sticker)

ลิงก์ทางการ: Experience page

💡 Japan Pro Tip: A fun one for non-fan travel partners too, and the cheapest thing in the shop. Stock is limited, so it can close early.

5. IGGY CAFE (Café)

The Lowdown: Snacks, gelato and drinks, plus a “Waiwai Pistols” table where projection mapping puts the Pistols on your table and they react to what you ordered. Gelato starts at ¥990 for two flavours.

Where: LUCUA SOUTH 10F

The Vibe: Theme café, built to be photographed

Price: Table seat ¥1,100 per person (about 25–30 minutes, up to 2 people per table, last order 19:30), food and drink extra

ลิงก์ทางการ: IGGY CAFE menu

💡 Japan Pro Tip: Only Pistols-table customers get the Osaka-logo pancake. Order a Pistols-tagged item or the table has nothing to react to.

JOJO World Tokyo vs Osaka: which one?

Same brand, opposite moods: JOJO World Tokyo vs JOJO World Osaka 2026. The operator’s July 2026 release frames Tokyo as hero-focused and Osaka as villain-focused.

	THE★JOJO WORLD TOKYO	THE★JOJO WORLD OSAKA
Where	Shibuya PARCO 6F, 5 min walk from Shibuya Station	LUCUA SOUTH 10F, 1 min from JR Osaka (Central exit)
Opened	24 July 2025	4 December 2026
Theme	The heroes	The villains
Size	About 80 tsubo, roughly 265 m² (reported before opening)	584.4 m²
Hours	10:00–21:00, daily	10:00–20:00
Signature attraction	Stand Ability Research Institute: matches you to one of about 120 Stands	SPW Foundation Latent Villainy Research Institute: one of about 100 villains, ¥990
Mini-games	Steel Ball Run race and Golden Wind gang dance (from 24 July 2026)	Ripple Roulette and the baseball game, ¥660 each
Fortune	Iggy Shrine coffee-gum omikuji	Polpo’s Passione fortune
Café	IGGY CAFE, gelato from ¥990, last order 20:30	IGGY CAFE, gelato from ¥990, Pistols table ¥1,100, Osaka-only gelato ¥1,280
Entry	No booking requirement shown on the official page (30 Oct)	Free timed booking required 4–13 Dec

Our verdict: if you’re in Tokyo first, Shibuya is the easy one — no lottery to win. If you’re a villain fan, or you want the new attraction and the All-Star keychains two weeks early, Osaka is worth planning around.

How to get to JOJO World Osaka from JR Osaka and Umeda

LUCUA SOUTH sits on the upper floors of the South Gate Building — the Daimaru Umeda building on the south side of JR Osaka Station. Official walking times, from the shop page:

• JR Osaka Station (Loop, Kobe, Kyoto and Takarazuka lines): about 1 minute from the Central exit (中央口).
• Umeda Station, Midosuji subway line: about 2 minutes from the North gate (北改札).
• Address for taxis: 大阪市北区梅田3-1-1 ルクア サウス10F.

Take the lifts up to 10F and look for the JOJO World Osaka 2026 queue. Leave big bags somewhere else — there are no coin lockers in the shop. Strollers and wheelchairs are allowed in.

From Kansai Airport, the Haruka runs to Osaka’s underground Umekita platforms; allow extra walking time to the Central exit. For the full station-by-station breakdown, use our Umeda guide rather than us repeating it here.

A half-day in Umeda around your JOJO slot

The full park is due in spring 2027.
