In the event you havent heard, the Rugby World Cup is currently in Asia for the very first time.
Taking place the championship feels entirely different to its predecessors and also overseas and Japanese fans have been revelling in it.
There are a number of things to enjoy out some that come as a surprise and west, a few of which were anticipated.
But after a bit of debate, the BBC Sport team in Japan have depended on exactly what they love.
BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones
You never quite understand what youre likely to get in Japan. It is never boring; and fun.
By way of instance, the weather appears to be impossible to forecast – any given day might be a combo of perfect sun or torrential storms – although at breakfast one wants to be prepared to eat anything from beef to fish stew to donuts and cakes.
And for considerate and reserved people, the Japanese also love letting their hair down by getting stuck in a karaoke booth – frequently to good food and drink.

Each World Cup wants a result from the group phases that keeps you in seeing other matches which you may otherwise suppose to be dead certs and pops up the established order that messes with the predictions you might have made on your own wallchart.
In 2007, you had Fiji beating against Wales. In 2011, you had Tonga bothering France, also in 2015 you had Japans famous victory over South Africa.
This World Cup is currently providing isnt just an isolated one-off but – maybe – a story that may kick on . If hosts Japan make it through the knock-out phases for the very first time in their history, it would be notable for its tournament although devastating for Scotland.
Other tier-two nations have fought, which needs to be a concern for World Rugby. To have the host nation in the eight will cover a number of those issues that are wider.

The fans for this World Cups enthusiasm has been to.
Not only do they buy the shirt of every team they go and see (imagine countless Japanese lovers in full Namibia apparel, backpack and ) they also have learnt the words to each national anthem and sing them together with as much pride as ardent Argentines, yelling Frenchmen and girls and multi-faceted South Africans.

Never have a lot of words at a tongue elicited such a response.
I know to say about six items in Japanese covering a range of themes from hi to sorry and all how to excuse me.
The answer to such attempts is pure joy in the receiver and they point at stuff and politely speak to you in Western after.
You feel welcomed and overseas all at exactly the identical moment. Loud English gets you nowhere and thats absolutely as it should be.
BBC Sport journalist Becky Grey
Culture has a lot to teach us regarding admiration. Trains are filled with signs reminding travelers not to use their telephones on-board and on game days you can find statements in English telling fans not tocause any distress for their fellow passengers.
The pitch has been interpreted onto by the high value placed on respecting other people . When thanking a person, as is the Japanese habit teams have stayed out on the area to go across and bow to each side of the stadium.
And there has been plenty of admiration between groups behind the scenes. After thrashing them 63-0, Canada was invited by reigning champions New Zealand to get a couple of beers that were post-match into their dressing room.

It creates life from Japan effortless and really quite pleasant, although the Japanese love a guideline, and theres absolutely no doubt from them.
Everybody waits on streets with no-one, even at the crossings for the guy around. You will find indications and no-one ever drives in.
Trains are on time, and if over a minute you receive a public apology. Finally, sneakers have to be removed indoors, no outside shoes are permitted in health spas and caps must be worn by everybody in the swimming pools.
BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Gareth Lewis
My favourite moment so far was presented in a in Tokyo using a jar of marmite. We had deliberately chosen a place and had surfaced there to see the England v USA game.
After much everyone had had a go at their English, the pub owner was so excited to own British guests he left us pose for photos with it and produced a bit of marmite from beneath the counter.
And as for the rugby… I am not counting my chickens or making any predictions, but to see Wales beat Australia in a World Cup for the very first time in 32 years – at last – was quite particular.
Im not silent when I watch games and have a tendency to live kick every pass and minute of tension. To allow out all by commentating on the game itself was an unforgettable experience. Ive just about abandoned another level to get up to if Wales go on and do something.
