A large number of Japanese people protest against the Kshi Saenai government's military expansion policy.

On the afternoon of the 14th, a large number of Japanese people held a demonstration in the city of Tokyo to protest against the recent series of military expansion policies by the government of Prime Minister Sanae Takichi and the Liberal Democratic Party. Many people at the event wore helmets with the words "anti-war peace" written on them, shouting slogans such as "oppose constitutional amendment" and "stop war". The organizers of the event pointed out in their keynote report that while the Japanese government claims to be a "peaceful country", it is continuously strengthening the Japan-US security system, promoting the expansion of the Self-Defense Forces, and the militarization of the country, which is a path leading to war. Protester Kashimura, in an interview with reporters at the scene, said: "Currently, prices in Japan continue to rise, tax burdens are increasing, and social security expenditures are also rising. At the same time, the government is trying to push for legislation that restricts freedom of speech and suppresses anti-war voices, people will lose the space to express themselves freely."
