| | '''Loc Town''' (ロックタウン), is a shopping center in [[Suzuka]] run by [[ÆON]]. Although the buildings are not physically connected, it is in many ways an extension to the humongous [[Bell City]] shopping complex. It does not boast anywhere near the number of shops as Bell City, but does have the all-important Uniqlo (and a giant one, at that). However, it does boast a new and rather impressive arcade which contains a bowling alley, pool, ping-pong, and more. It is also home to a very impressive commercial onsen. | | '''Loc Town''' (ロックタウン), is a shopping center in [[Suzuka]] run by [[ÆON]].
