We uncover a few key fact about the Prince Chichibu Stadium.
The Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium is also called the Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium.
It lies in the Aoyama district of central Tokyo and is the spiritual home of the Japanese rugby union.
The stadium was opened in 1947 and underwent renovation in 1973 and then again in 2003.
Its approximate current capacity is 27,000.
The stadium was first completed in 1947 and was then known as the Tokyo Rugby Stadium.
In 1953 the name was changed to Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, although it did serve as a venue for soccer matches in the 1964 Summer Olympics.
The name 'Chichibunomiya' commemorates the sporting prince, Prince Chichibu, who was not a rugby union player but was passionate about rugby union.
Prince Chichibu died in 1953 and his statue is in the stadium.
Japan enjoy a strong record in the stadium, having won six of their nine tests played there since the 2007 Rugby World Cup, beating both USA and Canada and losing only against Samoa (2) and Fiji.
