History
Both countries established relations in 1873, and 790 Japanese immigrants arrived to Peru 20 years later in 1899. Over time, Peru's Japanese population has become the second largest in Latin America after Brazil.
During the early 20th century, Peru had consulates in Tokyo, Kobe and Osaka. These were closed after Peru severed relations with Japan in January 1942 due to the Attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. 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.
A consulate-general in Nagoya opened in 2008.
