So the whole China/Japan/whoever discovering the Americas is a pretty popular trope in alternate history, but I'm not that interested in how it comes to happen--instead, I'm curious as to what the resulting North American situation will look like.

What areas will be contacted first, and which Native American societies will remain isolated the longest? Are any of the eastern tribes going to be in a better position to adapt to new technologies and diseases? (For example, the Powhatan confederacy of Virginia, who had the English land pretty much right on top of them OTL, will not have that same problem here...) Are there going to be major differences in Mesoamerica if contact is from the Pacific rather than the Atlantic?

Looking at the Pacific currents, it seems like landfall will most likely occur somewhere in OTL Washington or Oregon, with later expeditions following the California current south. In the medium to long term, will Asian explorers find it easiest to cross the continent by land, or sail around via Cape Horn, or cross through Central America?

Assume, just for sake of reference, that contact is occurring in about the same timeframe as OTL (1400-1600) and that the Europeans/North Africans/etc. are out of the picture.
