Excluding the 600+ confirmed cases aboard the Diamond Princess, we've seen Japan's total number of COVID-19 cases nearly tripled over the past 7 days, going from 30 cases last Friday to 84 today. 

All of these new cases appear to be community acquired, raising concerns that the virus is becoming better established in Japan's population.
