Perry Park is located in Kurihama, near Yokohama. The park contains a monolith monument, erected in 1902, marking the arrival of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, and includes a free museum containing replicas of documents and pictures of Perry's arrival. This site is valuable for an in-depth view of Perry's arrival, and the beginning of contact between the Japanese and Westerners after the closing of the country. The museum is open 10am - 4pm, seven days a week.
