I though the Portuguese were the first people, but later I was reading and I thought it said the Dutch were actually first. Thanks for the correction.

The first Europeans in Japan were the Portuguese, who landed on Tanegashima Island near Kyushu in 1543. They traded with Japan and tried to establish Christianity as a religion several decades before the Dutch arrived in 1600. That first Dutch ship was called Liefde (Dutch for "love"), and it eventually led to a kind of love affair - or at least exclusive trading rights! - for almost 250 years.
