To be fair, Basque people expanded well outside Basque country and took root in a few odd spots as a result. I live in Nevada, and we have Basque festivals in a few cities with many actual Basque people here annually. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert by any measure, but maybe some took root near Tokyo too? Wouldn’t be the craziest thing.
EDIT: There’s apparently a wiki page specifically about this, though it makes no mention of Japan that I saw.

I had no idea the Basque diaspora was this important, this region is not that big.
