1,800 people pull 4-lakh-kg Japanese castle using ropes to move it 2 metres

About 1,800 people in Japan used ropes to pull the 4-lakh-kg Hirosaki Castle more than two metres towards its original spot. The castle had been shifted in 2015 so repairs could be carried out on its stone wall. Officials are planning to involve around 4,100 people in moving it five metres by hand by the end of August.
