Japan's unique rugby fanzones

The Rugby World Cup in Japan is welcoming visitors from around the world.

As it's the typhoon season, organizers have created 16 Fanzones across Japan to make sure visitors can watch all the matches in comfort. The Fanzones are also popular with the Japanese fans due to the success of their team.

In Tokyo the Fanzone is a 3 storey building. But to enjoy the matches there are a number of rules to follow.

There are signs outside the building for those queuing to get in. And lots of signs inside too. Smoking is not allowed, alcohol can only be drunk on the first floor, families and children can enjoy the matches alcohol free on the second floor.

Woman: "In Japan everyone's a lot more orderly. It's not so chaotic, like Melbourne."

Man: "Everyone's good sports here, in Australia, everyone would be standing up - jumping up and down the whole time. Here everyone's very polite, the Japanese people are still clapping for Ireland scores. They're very nice and respectful people, we're really enjoying ourselves. So, yeah."

Recycling is also really important at the Fanzone. Visitors are asked to make sure they put everything in the correct bin and there are lots of people to help you get it right.
