Japan: 1,800 walk through historic house
The ancient Hirosaki Castle in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, was moved using the traditional "Hikia" method, with around 1,800 people participating over the weekend. The goal was to relocate the castle to its original site after it suffered damage from an earthquake. The building was pulled over a distance of more than two meters using ropes and rollers, without disassembly, to preserve its architectural heritage. This rare procedure requires coordination between locals and visitors and aims to foster unity and protect the historic site. The castle is one of the largest and most famous historical landmarks, built in 1611, and is currently undergoing restoration work that will continue until 2033.
