Because of the dangers from the outside world. For example, the Europeans were spreading Christianity and trading at the time. Tokugawa, the ruler feared these European actions and isolated itself. They thought they could get goods and trade furs.
And it was also because of the power settlement and they thought that was the only way that they could have power in only Japan so then other people had to Travel and bring them goods and all that too and that is why Japan Isolated itself from the rest or most of the rest of the world

∙ 14y agoJapan went into isolation due to an increasingly dangerous European threat. Many Europeans in Japan, specifically Spanish and Portuguese Catholics, attempted to convert the populace in an effort to "save" them. Many Japanese Christians became zealous in their beliefs, threatening the careful order established by the feudal system and led by the shogunate. The Dutch and English were also there bringing their guns and weaponry with them and though Ieyasu would also use them to fight rival lords, he was afraid of rivals gaining exclusive access to advanced European weaponry. Japan also saw the example of China, which had basically become a servant to European desires; isolation was seen as a way of ridding Japan of what could become a serious problem.
However this policy would change with the arrival of the American Admiral Perry and the overthrow of the shogunate in favor of a parliamentary government headed by an emperor. At this point in time, Japan would become more open to the Western influence.
