    William Adams, an English navigator for the Dutch East India Company, drifted ashore in Bungo Province (present-day Oita Prefecture) in 1600 after a violent storm. He was later invited by Tokugawa Ieyasu to serve as a foreign policy advisor, where he contributed significantly to the development of trade between Japan and Britain. Adams was granted the Japanese name "Miura Anjin" by the Shogun and established his residence in Edo. The area surrounding his home was known as "Anjin-cho" until the early Showa period, preserving his legacy in the city's geography. [Period: Edo Period]
