Timelapse: 400-tonne castle tower moved using metal rollers, Japan

A 400-year-old castle tower in Japan began a slow, two month journey to move just 80 meters to a nearby site yesterday (3 August). The tower, also weighing 400 tons, was moved due to the stone wall it rests on becoming bent. The transfer will make repairs possible. It was moved around 4 meters during the first day and is expected to take 2 months to be moved the necessary distance.
