What awaits Wales in Japan?

We know Wales’ training squad, their gruelling preparation schedule and their four fixtures this summer. Now it’s time to take a look at what awaits them in Japan.

Tickets for Rugby World Cup fixtures go back on sale on Saturday (May 18 at 10am UK time) and you can snap up the chance to watch Wales in the Land of the Rising Sun. The new ticket inventory will be released across all matches on a first come, first served basis.

Tickets can be found here.

A city-by-city tourism guide has been put together to showcase what you can see and do in and around all Wales’ pool matches. That detailed guide and insight can be found at Visit Japan 2019.

Meanwhile, Gullivers have some fantastic tour packages tailored to Wales fans. You can read all about those right here.

Tournament organisers have also announced the details of the official fanzones across the host cities in Japan.

Wales will face back-to-back matches against England and Ireland later this year (tickets available via wru.wales/tickets from just £40 for adults and £10 for children), before Warren Gatland’s side depart the UK on September 11. They will head to Kitakyushu for their final training camp before the tournament kicks off.

Wales v Georgia (Toyota City) – Monday 23 September (19.15 Japan time)

That kick- off comes on Monday September 23 in Toyota City, which sits just three hours south of Tokyo in Aichi Prefecture – a perfect chance for that first bullet train experience! Georgia are Wales’ first opponents at the City of Toyota Stadium for the evening kick off (19.15).
