History
editBoth countries established relations in 1873,[3][4] and 790 Japanese immigrants arrived to Peru 20 years later in 1899.[3] Today, Peru has the second largest Japanese population in Latin America after Brazil.
During the early 20th century, Peru had consulates in Tokyo, Kobe and Osaka.[5] These were closed after Peru severed relations with Japan in January 1942 due to the Attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.[6] Relations were reestablished after the treaty of San Francisco, and legations between both countries were reopened between 1952 and 1955, being followed in 1956 by an exchange of embassies.[7]
