About Nations Championship: Wales v Japan

Fixtures against Japan have a different rhythm to the traditional autumn visits from the southern hemisphere heavyweights, with a back line built on pace and offloads rather than pure power. Expect a high tempo contest, with the away side's ability to shift the ball wide often the difference between a close finish and a rout.

Where to stay nearby

Cardiff itself is the obvious base, with the stadium sitting right in the city centre and 45 hotels within easy walking distance of the ground and the bars around it. Newport, a short train ride away, offers a quieter and often cheaper alternative with 13 hotels, suiting those happy to commute in on match day. Bath is a further option for anyone building a longer weekend around the fixture, though at 58km it's best suited to those with a car or willing to take a longer train journey, with its much larger stock of 377 hotels giving more flexibility on price and availability.
