Any hope of an upset was snuffed out thanks to four further tries from Laidlaw, Alasdair Dickinson, Duncan Weir and Sean Lamont. The Japanese recorded a famous 23-8 victory against a weakened Wales side in Tokyo in June but defeat means they are yet to register a win against a Six Nations side in Europe.
Scotland have now won four of their nine matches under head coach Scott Johnson who led them to a third place finish in this year’s Six Nations. He will be replaced by French side Clermont Auvergne’s head coach, Vern Cotter, in 2014.
Scotland host big guns South Africa next weekend before the visit of Australia on November 23.
