Yes the exciting bits are coming soon!
In the OP @mrnoone describes the race as starting from Nov 1563 until 1868, which is really just over 304 years.
Its the list of events which is different, running from 1568 to 1868, which is 300 yrs.
(Though if you want to be picky, in reality Oda moved on Kyoto in 1568 (not 1563 as originally stated), he was busy defeating the Saito clan from '63-'67)

About 251 years in: ~1814
Japan’s 本州 experienced two large earthquakes in 1810 and 1812, though its well-known these aren’t uncommon events in this country, and in 1822 there was a three day period where over 150 separate tremors were recorded. The artist most commonly known as Hokusai (he changed his name many times) who is famously known for his print series ‘Thirty-six view of Mount Fuji’ begins his early works that first bring him fame around the country. After winning an art competition in fron of Shoun Tokugawa Ienari, he spends 10 years from 1804 to 1815 creating very popular fantasy novels, a series of ‘manga’ which was essentially just random pictures within a rough theme, and made a small series of art manuals as a way to make money and attract more students. In 1817 he gained more fame by painting the ‘Great Daruma’, which was 18 x 11 meters in size. It drew huge crowds, and the event was made into a song. Hokusai is also literally the reason a certain genre of illicit adult images containing tentacles exists, after he made the image ‘The dream of the fisherman’s wife’.
In 1823 German physician Philip Franz von Siebold arrives in Nagasaki as the new physician in the foreign trading post. With the strong following of Rangaku (Western studies) thank to Sugita Genpaku (from my previous post), Siebold is invited to teach Japanese doctors all he knows of western medicine. He is even eventually allowed to live in Nagasaki city itself and used his freedom to treat many locals around the area.
