The American sailors would have described Japan as an underdeveloped nation when they first arrived. The Japanese did not have a great military force. The american sailors landed in Edo (present day Tokyo) bay.
{http://www.pacificasiamuseum.org/japanesepaintings/html/images/mapJapan.gif} Tokyo Bay is located just below Edo (Tokyo).
Commodore Perry would not let any diplomats go on the journey with him to Japan in fear that they would ruin the expedition. Commodore Perry brought along four steam ships called Mississippi, Susquehanna, Powhatan, and Allegheny among the rest of his fleet.
