The Japanese School of Lima (Lima Nihonjin Shogakko), better known as Lima Nikko was founded in 1920. The nisei generation at this school received education according to the Japanese education system.The first site of Lima Nikko was located on Sagástegui Street (Abancay Avenue) with 26 students. As more students registered over the years, the school moved to a larger location at 630 Zamudio Street (presently Jr. Cusco). The photograph shows one of the classrooms at that time.
