I'm not quite so sure...I suspect it would have gotten partway into the city and then got stuck in some rubble. Not mentioning the fact that it would have taken it about four days to actually reach the city crawling along at about 12-7mph. There's a reason it was preserved as a dire warning to future students of the School of Tank Technology.

It would only get anywhere if traveling in a straight line and even then the suspension would probably disassemble itself.

Foutantely Tokyo is situated on a large bay where LSTs could unload them directly. Failing that I'm sure a Sherman could have towed it in to the City.

You have it wrong Dowly.
Marry C. Hristmas will be our Troll coming back.
This time 'it' will be an 89 year old Ex-Navy Nurse
who served in WWII, while working for the OSS.
After the war?
She worked on Secret Missions to the Moon for the CIA.
Or some such drival.
All the while proclaiming 'Someone is out to get her'.
Little does 'it' know how true that part may be.

I think a big catapult would have been the better option. They would probably have been more dangerous used as ammunition for a trebuchet than as an actual tank.
