In 1859, U.S. Commodore Perry visited Yokohama and forced Japan to cease 220 years of isolation and open her ports to the west. In 1862, the Brits quickly acquired land from the Shogun to establish a military garrison of up to 1,700 soldiers and marines at what is now Harbor View Park. The Shogun allotted additional land on the Bluff to the Brits where they created parade grounds, hospitals, etc., and were first to introduce cricket and rugby to Japan.
