“Playing for Glasgow Warriors has completely changed my life for the better and I’ve loved every minute of it,” Grigg told the club’s website on Wednesday.
He added: “I’m going to miss Glasgow, the fans and the boys but it’s going to be another amazing experience to move over to Japan and play rugby.”
Glasgow head coach Danny Wilson paid tribute to Grigg by saying: “Nick is a well-liked character within our squad who has had some really good performances in a Glasgow Warriors shirt over the past six seasons.
“He’s someone who always gave his all for the club and who was never afraid to front up to the challenge in front of him.
