It was the portuguese in 1542-1543, but it's not clear who was the first to set foot in Japan.
According to wiki,
The first three Europeans to arrive in Japan in 1543, were Portuguese traders António Mota, António Peixoto and Francisco Zeimoto (also presumably Fernão Mendes Pinto). They arrived at the southern tip of Tanegashima, where they would introduce Firearms to the local population. These muskets would later receive the name after its location.
Thank u all! :3
