Tokugawa Ieyasu did not close Japan off from the outside world. He did establish a trend of issuing Edicts that called for the removal of Europeans from Japanese soil. However, it was Tokugawa Iemitsu's Closed Country Edit of 1635 that began Japan's strict isolationist policies.

With each edict passed by the Tokugawa Shogunate, culminating with Iemitsu's 1635 Edict, one can deduce that the spread of Christianity was the main factor in the decision to effectively ban most Europeans from Japanese soil.

What caused the ruling shogun to close japan off from the rest of the world in the 1630s?

While Japan wasn't technically closed off from the rest of the world, the shogunate did issue several edicts severely restricting trade and travel abroad.
