Learn about Black Ship arrival at the landing monument and Perry memorial hall
About this spot
A memorial park at Kurihama, where Commodore Perry landed with his Black Ships. The 'Perry Landing Monument' stands at its center, and the Perry Memorial Hall within the park offers free viewing of Black Ship dioramas and historical materials. Standing at the actual site of 'Black Ship Arrival'—a moment from textbooks—brings history vividly to life. The Kurihama seashore stretches out before you.
Tips
The Perry Memorial Hall offers free admission but note it closes on Mondays. After viewing, enjoy beach play at the Kurihama seashore right in front before heading home.
Best time to visit
Allow 45 minutes; the memorial hall is quieter for viewing in late afternoon
