The Europeans to arrive on Japanese soil were Portuguese traders and Jesuit missionaries in the mid-16th century. They were the first Europeans to establish contact with Japan during a period of significant cultural and technological exchange known as the Nanban trade.

The first Europeans to arrive in what now is Massachusetts were the Puritans aboard the Mayflower. Although they were headed for Virginia, their ship went off-course and drifted to the north. They finally made landfall on Cape Cod in 1610.
