Original Note:
Japan was mostly closed off to foreign influence until the 1850s when Commodore Matthew Perry's expedition helped to open them to the west & start industrializing. The fact that OP is visiting at all is by nature a product of American Cultural Influence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Expedition
