Araki's manga studio is located on the upper floor of a luxurious five-story apartment complex in Tokyo, which was first constructed in 1990. Araki moved into the studio sometime during Steel Ball Run, with it first appearing in an August 2007 interview titled "I Want to Receive the World's Best JoJo's Bizarre Lessons" with Shoko Nakagawa.
Entering the apartment is a small hallway which leads directly into the main workspace, kitchen area, and corridor. On the right side of the hallway are manga awards and trophies that Araki has won over the decades for his series, as well as items that were brought back from his trips aboard. From the hallway to the main workspace is a large spacious living area that leads out to a balcony. In the center of the room are four large drawings desks for both Araki and his assistants, so that they can work together in close proximity.
At the corners of the workspace are various shelves and drawers stock full of all the essential tools and equipment that Araki needs to draw, including fountain pens, pencils, inks, blank manuscript paper, and a large collection of screentones. On the right side of the workspace there's a large bookshelf full of encyclopedias, art books, model cars, and fashion catalogs that are used for reference when drawing. Araki also keeps various manga series from other authors on his reference shelf, including Monster, Vagabond, Gunnm, Fist of the North Star, Fullmetal Alchemist, KochiKame, Dragon Ball, I Am a Hero, AKIRA, Hitomi no Catoblepas, and Yushun no Mon.[1]
Separated away from the main workspace is an additional room mainly used by two of Araki's assistants, which includes personal computers, drawing tablets, and a photo copier machine.
