About Nations Championship: Scotland v Japan

Fixtures against Japan have grown sharper in recent years, with the visitors now capable of troubling any side in world rugby, and this one carries proper stakes for both sets of supporters. Expect a physical, high-tempo contest rather than a formality, with the scrum and breakdown battle likely to decide things.

Where to stay nearby

Edinburgh itself is the obvious base, putting you within walking distance of the fan zones, pubs and the ground with the widest choice of hotels by far. Ratho and Queensferry both sit a short drive from the city and offer a quieter, smaller-scale alternative if central rooms are scarce or pricier on matchday. Neither has a direct rail link into town, so a car or a pre-booked taxi is the practical way in, especially with matchday road closures to plan around.

Edinburgh — about 0 km away

Edinburgh puts you at the heart of things—the venue is right here, so you can walk to most events and spend your time exploring the Old Town, the waterfront, or the galleries and restaurants scattered throughout. With 280 hotels in the city, you'll find options for every budget and style.

Ratho — about 12 km away

Queensferry — about 13 km away
