Many people are gathering in Tokyo, Japan and beginning to heading up to the Northern-most island of Hokkaido where the G8 Summit will be held July 7-9th. Today, a protest march looped around the crowded Shinjuku area in the rain. Nearly as many police surrounded the march, creating a line in the middle of the street to keep protestors in line.

In a few days, most protestors will move to Sapporo for a large march on July 5th and then onto the remote Lake Toya for protests closer to the hotel hosting the G8 Summit.
