I'm not sure where you have this impression from, but I can assure you that in many non-urban areas getting fiber (hikari) is a non-option.
Many folks resort to LTE or WiMax to compensate, which has poor performance in general and even worse in poor weather.
For context, even in Tokyo, you would be surprised at the number of apartment buildings that come with shared 100Mbit lines for 30+ units, with no way of installing faster direct lines (in large part due to owner/agency refusal).
