Commodore Perry’s “Black Ship” cruise tour is a modern-day tourist attraction in Japan that offers visitors the opportunity to experience a historical reenactment of Commodore Matthew C. Perry’s famous expedition to Japan in the mid-19th century. These cruise tours typically take place in Shimoda, a coastal town in Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, which has historical significance as the location where Perry negotiated the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854.
During the “Black Ship” cruise tour, tourists can board a replica of one of Perry’s black ships, which are reconstructed to resemble the steam-powered warships used in the original expedition. The tour often includes guided explanations and reenactments of key events from Perry’s arrival in Japan, as well as demonstrations of the technology and equipment used on the ships.
These tours are a popular attraction for both domestic and international tourists interested in Japanese history and culture. They provide a unique opportunity to learn about the opening of Japan to the West and its impact on the country’s subsequent development. Visitors can also enjoy the scenic coastal views and the historical atmosphere of Shimoda while participating in these “Black Ship” cruise tours.
