Secret underground Tokyo?

Talk about conspiracy theories! This one's a dilly. (Thanks to William Gibson's blog.)

shahani is this true?

Looks like I has been branded a conspiracy guru by here epidemic.

In fact I am the most skeptical person when it comes to conspiracys simple because I am a positive peson.

But when a conspiracy bites you in the leg, you gotta sit up and listen.

Dunno about this one but the source is reliable.

Hmmmm. Appealing, especially given the extremely long history of the city, the monarchy and its associated society. I spent a couple of years as a sewer and subway rat in Chicago. Never bothered to see if some of those places were on the maps, but it was possible to get all over downtown and even under the Chicago river using some of those unused passages.

There are moonshining tunnels all over the place under the north side of Iron Mountain, but no one is brave enough to crawl around in them. Jimmy Hoffa is probably in there somewhere...

Would it really surprise anyone to find out there is a 'secret city' down there? Well, probably. I'd think it was cool though.

Gibson rocks, BTW.

I had to switch lines once from the Shinjuku line to the Ginza line. The map said that I could switch at Gion Station. I got off at the subway station and it ended up being a half a mile walk, all underground to the next subway line.

It showed as one stop on the map! This is obvious proof that the Japanese never disarmed and in fact have the largest nuclear arsenal in the world buried under Tokyo, ready to attack at a moments notice!!!

Is everyone really scared?

As efficient as the Toyko subway is, who knows.. Because it's still so easy to get lost. Especially taking the train at rush hour when everyone is going to or from work. You have to be careful. Riding the trains at rush hour in Japan is nuts!
