Migration history

In 1990, Japan introduced a new ethnicity-based immigration policy which aimed to encourage Japanese descendants overseas to come to Japan and fill the country's need for foreign workers.[4] From 1992 to 1997, data from Peru's Ministry of the Interior showed Japan as the fourteenth-most popular destination for Peruvian emigrants, behind the Netherlands and ahead of Costa Rica.[5]

Education

There are the following Peruvian international schools (ペルー学校) in Japan:

gollark: PotatOS has pretty good autoupdate, so I have to fix any bug which crops up within about 5 minutes.
gollark: ***EXTREME PROGRAMMING*** is where I have no version control, and update the live copies of everything.
gollark: I use pastebin extensively for the ***EXTREME PROGRAMMING*** methodology of potatOS, but it has problems and I do not think it is suited to websites.
gollark: Ah, but I would have to manually update every single paste my website consists of if I edit the templates.
gollark: It would be a hassle to open it. And then I probably couldn't do links, or split stuff into multiple files, or use a nice static site generator.
