On Sunday November 20th, the host nation faced Ecuador at Al Bayt stadium which ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Two goals from Enner Valencia ensured that Ecuador claimed their three points.
Meanwhile the fans dressed in their national colours stayed behind to pick up bottles and food wrapping left in the stands.
The country has gained a reputation for similar goodwill at previous international tournaments and their admirable behaviour is already winning plaudits in the Middle East.
Footage shows them going row by row picking up the rubbish and placing it into plastic bags.
The video was taken by influencer Omar Al-Farooq from Bahrain who shared it on Instagram.
In it, he is heard asking: 'Why are you doing this?'
A Japanese fan replies: 'We are Japanese, and we do not leave rubbish behind us, and we respect the place.'
