Tokyo is famous for being one of the best-designed cities on Earth. So why does it look like this? While London and Paris buried 100% of their power lines before most of us were born, Japan still has over 35 million utility poles above ground — and builds roughly 70,000 more every single year. Tokyo, the largest city in the world, has buried only about 8% of its cables. Osaka: 6%. This isn't laziness. It's not poverty. It's a deliberate choice — and once you understand why, you'll never look at a Japanese street photo the same way again. In this video, we compare how European cities like Paris and London eliminated overhead power lines a century ago, why Japan went the opposite direction after World War II, what earthquakes and tsunamis have to do with it (the 2011 disaster destroyed around 56,000 poles — and changed the debate), why burying a single kilometer of cable in Tokyo can cost hundreds of millions of yen, and why, when activists photoshopped power lines onto Hokusai's famous "Red Fuji" painting to show how ugly they are, the Japanese public answered: "Looks great."

Are overhead power lines safer in earthquakes? How much would it cost Japan to bury its power grid? Is Tokyo actually a well-designed city?
