Tens of thousands of Japanese citizens gathered before the National Diet building on Sunday, voicing opposition to the policy shifts under the current administration led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Protesters carried banners and chanted slogans condemning moves to relax Japan's restrictions on arms exports and revise the country's postwar pacifist constitution.
The current rules laid out in Japan's Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology limit its defence equipment exports to give non-combat purposes.
But Takaichi's government is considering revising the implementation guidelines for the Three Principles and removing these restrictions, which in principle allows exports of lethal weapons to other countries.
