Michael John Grist explores a crazy series of abandoned World War II caverns in Yokohama. His fabulous post includes loads of photos, a video, and some really interesting sidebar stories shared by his commenters (fighting a drugged up guy with a fire extinguisher, etc). Check it out!
"Deep within the solid rock of the Negishi Plateau in Yokohama, spreading beneath the old race-course Grandstand and Yokosuka Naval Base, lies a twisting warren of hidden World War 2-era caverns. Once filled with ancient munitions, bustling troops, and rooms full of military dossiers, they now rest in lonely silence, unexplored for up to 20 years, their secrets stopped up behind entrances back-filled with avalanche scree and trash, overgrown by thick vines in loamy earth, and walled off with sheets of blast-concrete."

Very cool. On this next trip I hope he finds some really cool stuff hidden inside like a WWII military hat or something.
