Wales to play Japan in Cardiff
Japan have been added to the Wales end-of-year fixtures which will see Wales play fixtures against Australia, Argentina and South Africa.
The game will take place at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, November 19.
"The Under Armour Series will be about testing ourselves against the best sides in the world, and with Japan now completing the fixture line-up for 2016, we have four teams from World Rugby's top 10 coming to the Principality Stadium in November," said Gatland
Japan pulled off the greatest upset in World Cup history last September when they beat South Africa 34-32 in Brighton, but failed to make the quarterfinal stage despite also recording victories over Samoa and the United States.
Coach Eddie Jones has since moved on to take charge of England but the team have moved into the top 10 of the world rankings.
Japan have conceded more than 50 points in their four previous Test matches at Cardiff and lost 18-72 on their last visit at the 2007 World Cup.
But they beat Wales for the first time in their history when the two nations last met, 23-8 at Tokyo in June 2013.
