The Nijimura Residence (虹村邸, Nijimura-tei) is a secondary (should we catagorize locations like we do characters?) location featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable. It is a home situated in the Japanese town of Morioh.

Seemingly abandoned for several years, Josuke Higashikata enters the home to save Koichi Hirose after he is shot with an arrow and dragged inside. It's inhabitants, a pair of brothers, stealthily use the Bow and Arrow to create Stand users in Morioh.

Description

Located in the suburbs of Morioh, the Nijimura residence is a Victorian-style three-story home. Over the years, the home has deteriorated, its exterior now sporting overgrown foliage, and weathered to the point where the brick underneath is exposed. At some point, the home's windows and front door were boarded up, with several "no trespassing" signs being placed around the surrounding gate. The sign on the home's front gate changes from saying "no trespassing" (立入禁止) to saying "no passing" (立禁止), after The Hand erases the space while trying to attack Josuke.[2] Additionally, following Josuke's battle with Keicho Nijimura, several rooms in the home are significantly damaged.

Most of the home's rooms are empty, lacking any furniture or notable qualities. The lone exception, a room on the 3rd floor, houses the patriarch of the Nijimura family, Mansaku Nijimura, along with Keicho's bow and arrow. The home was believed by Koichi to be abandoned for about 3-4 years, with nearby realtors making sure squatters haven't inhabited the home.[3] According to Okuyasu, Mansaku is the owner of the home.[4] The home is close to the Higashikata residence.

History

Background

Sometime in 1989, after he began receiving money and treasures from DIO, Mansaku Nijimura moved from Tokyo to Morioh with his two sons. One day, when returning home from school, a young Keicho discovers Okuyasu crying in front of the house crying. Assuming their father had been beating him, Keicho goes to confront Mansaku, only to find him deforming in the kitchen. Mansaku has been implanted with a flesh bud by DIO, and upon his death, the flesh bud went haywire, slowly transforming him into his current monstrous state. [6]

At some point after Mansaku's transformation, Keicho comes into ownership of Enya the Hag's bow and arrow. At some point in the mid-90s, the home is considered abandoned by locals, and the windows and front entrance are boarded up.
