It gives off something about the uncanny harmony of technological progress and nature. I don't know but for me the feeling seems so nostalgic.

I'm interested in why they do it that way too. Is it to save costs? Or some other reason?

Is it home generation of electricity?

>> No.12342378

you think it's smart in a country that has constant earthquakes to put wires in the ground?

>> No.12342384

>>12342378
But if the lines are in the ground they could vreak during an earthquake and the surrounding area could be electrified

In certain areas they are putting them underneath the sidewalks. It's a slow process.

The accelerated rate at which Japan industrialized + all the winding, old street layouts = friggin Ashenvale Woods. At least it's not as bad as some Anime depicts it; Where you can hear a constant humming sound as you walk down the street. (Maybe they've upgraded everywhere to safer and/or quieter transformers, I dunno)

Having above-ground power lines is one of the reasons internet is so cheap in Japan. Don't have to spend a bunch of money digging holes.

You can get a 1gbps connection for like 4000yen (~$40 USD) a month.

with all these narrow streets, there's no room to add an underground infrastructure for power and communications. these are mostly in older areas anyways.

I used to live in a place where power lines aren't buried in the ground
