Nearly 1,000 Japanese protesters in Tokyo oppose Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s push to revise Article 9 of the pacifist Constitution.
On February 28, 2026, nearly 1,000 Japanese citizens protested in Tokyo against Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s efforts to revise the country’s pacifist Constitution, particularly Article 9, which renounces war.
Demonstrators, including many young people, voiced concerns over increased defense spending and a potential shift toward militarization, criticizing the government for prioritizing military buildup over social welfare amid economic hardship.
The rally, held near the prime minister’s residence, featured chants of “No constitutional revision” and signs urging “Protect peace,” reflecting widespread public unease over the erosion of Japan’s postwar commitment to peace.
