Brief summary

Mori Town is a suburban shopping mall in the Showa-no-Mori (Showa Forest Town), and consists of the fully-refurbished existing Mori Town main building and a new mall wing built on adjacent land. With around 140 specialty shops, including 80 new shops, it is one of the largest shopping malls in the Tama Area of Tokyo. A large space called the Sun Plaza, which evokes the image of a gentle forest where bright sunshine is filtered through foliage, has been created in the new mall wing.
