Keisuke Honda and Makoto Hasebe have retired from international football following Japan’s World Cup exit.
Honda did not start a game in Russia, but came off the bench as a second half substitute in Rostov, and believes the future is bright for Japan.
"Today we showed how we can proceed as Japanese football," said the 32-year-old, who scored 37 goals in 98 caps.
