TOKYO — Thousands of Japanese joined a march against nuclear power as worries grow about the restarting of reactors idled after the March 11 meltdown disaster in northeastern Japan.
Holding "No Nukes" signs, people gathered at Yoyogi Park for a rally Saturday, including Nobel Prize-winning writer Kenzaburo Oe.
