I am an architecture student, and i can explain you the reasons they make this.

1. Such method is safer for humans and against fire (caused by electric spark).

2. Concealed wiring/pipes is hard to access/swap in case of breakage.

3. It is cheaper.

4. Does not interfere with other systems/structures.

5. Easy-to-modify or relocate all the elements.

6, Easy-to-maintain as you can see the condition of the wiring/pipes.

Hope you can forgive them their pragmatism over beauty.

Yep here in the states people woudl bitch to no end. I think its an eyesore.

I hope that all wires will be installed in the ground as foreign countries. because I think Japanese scenery looks messy.

Couldn't they at least put it all at the back of the building?

Where I live they put that electric thing on the left of the house

You know, I was actually wondering why I was always seeing so many wires. Thanks for this!

I absolutely love Japanese architecture, whether it's new or old. It's just unique.

Most things aren't build to last because they demolish them after 20 or so years, to keep up with earth quakes building codes.

This is how it is in most places in the States. Certain communities have hidden buried cable, but most places have lines strung everywhere. My home has the main line coming into a pipe on the roof of the house, with the meter on the outside similar to this video. I live in Kansas, where we have bad storms such as tornados, so it's always a concern that a tree will fall on the line.

I find it odd that this would bother people after they've seen it often enough....nobody is complaining about 'power poles,street signs, wiring and cabling up and down every god-damn street and it will never change....visual pollution...bah! humbug!

[unkeihokusai]

It is also difficult for an electric wire to invade the private right of land.

Although a sense of entitlement about the labor and honor which Japanese people originally need is low, only a sense of entitlement about land use or a construction design is very strong.
