Hidden Tunnels under Tokyo?

Ran across this link randomly on del.icio.us--it's essentially 'cryptoarchitecture' and I thought I'd put it with the cryptozoology:

Shun is on some kind of invisible blacklist. His book "Teito Tokyo Kakusareta Chikamono Himitsu" ("Imperial City Tokyo: Secret of a Hidden Underground Network"), published by Yosensha in late 2002, is already in its fifth edition. Yet Shun has found it impossible to get the media to take serious note, write reviews or offer interviews.

This is very strange because he has a great story -- evidence of a network of tunnels and possibly an underground city beneath Tokyo that the public is totally unaware of. "Why am I ignored? Can I be on to something, and there is a conspiracy to silence me? I believe so."


This sounds like one of those conspiracy stories which would be relatively easy to find supporting evidence or disproof--and, of course, in doing so gain urban explorer cred up the wazoo--if only someone put in a tiny amount of legwork. Since that legwork would be in Japan, I'm out.
