Tens of thousands protest Japan nuclear restart
[...]
The protesters, carrying placards which read “Rise up against the restart” and “The nuclear era is over,” lined the streets around Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda’s residence in central Tokyo as police watched on, according to an AFP photographer.
The main entrance to the residence was seen guarded by armoured vehicles and barricades of uniformed police.
Organisers quoted in local media estimated turnout exceeded 100,000 people, over double the turnout they estimated at a similar protest last week. Lawmaker Yoshisu Arita, however, placed the figure at closer to 20,000 on Twitter.

UPDATE: Asahi: 150,000 to 180,000 protest in Tokyo streets -- Top headline on Mainichi (NEW VIDEO)
Perhaps lawmaker Yoshisu Arita should work on his crowd estimating skills.
