There was still a small contingent of Dutch traders that were allowed to remain on Dejima Island in Nagasaki Bay.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was suspicious of Christianity, but not openly hostile to it. It would be his grandson, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who would actually ban the religion and persecute believers.

The main reason why the Tokugawa Shogunate closed Japan's borders was the spread of Christianity. There had been several past attempts to close off Japan's boundaries.

Christianity came to Japan and the Shogun used the influence of the Europeans to destroy Buddhist separatist movements that opposed his power. But with the rapid growth of Christianity, the Shogun felt threatened and a rural revolt was used as an excuse to stop conversions to Christianity and ban it.

The Tokugawa Bakufu closed Japan's ports to avert the spread of Christianity. There had been several attempts to close Japan to the outside world, but none were enforced heavily until 1635 when Tokugawa Iemitsu issued the Closed Country Edict.
