It's amazing just how much stuff there is under Tokyo - not just infrastructure like this and the usual transport links but entire multi-storey shopping malls. There's almost a whole city beneath the city. It's possible to travel for miles without ever seeing daylight!

Osaka has also massive undergrounds. Not as large as Tokyo's of course, but massive nonetheless.
My favorite part is the JSDF underground bunkers where they store the giant robots used for disaster relief.
Where is this and how do I see it ?
It’s a joke, a mecha robot reference.
Even just the transportation infrastructure is incredible to me. I was just there and it was honestly amazing to me how deep the metro stations can be. Multiple long escalators/stairways from surface to platform.
