Was Edo actually modeled after the ancient capital of Heian‑kyō?

Did the development of Edo under Tokugawa Ieyasu involve the influence of the “underworld”?

Why are the Tokugawa family temple Kaneiji and Shinobazu Pond located in Ueno?
The answer lies in the concept of the “Kimon” (Demon Gate).

Once you learn the hidden logic behind the city, everything suddenly makes sense — a mind‑opening mystery of the metropolis!
