OSAKA, JAPAN – September 18, 2025 – 5:13 PM Eastern Time – The Peru Pavilion at Expo Osaka-Kansai 2025 reached a historic milestone by welcoming its 1 millionth visitor, consolidating the country’s position as one of the most attractive and popular pavilions at this world expo.
The privileged visitor, Noriko Norimura, a Japanese citizen, received special recognition and enjoyed a unique cultural and gastronomic experience in the Peruvian space. “I actually came to the Expo because I wanted to visit the Peru pavilion, to see the alpacas and because I really like Machu Picchu. I stood in line, but I never imagined I would be the millionth visitor. I was very surprised,” she said excitedly.
During her visit, Norimura was welcomed with warm Peruvian hospitality and received symbolic gifts including pisco, cacao, camu camu, a baby alpaca pashmina, and exclusive promotional items. She also sampled a selection of Peruvian dishes such as quinoa pilaf, solterito, choclo with uchucuta, and anticuchos, reaffirming the diversity and quality of the country’s cuisine.
The million visitors reached confirms the effectiveness of the strategy deployed by PROMPERÚ at this global showcase, which will continue until October 13. The initial goal has been achieved ahead of schedule and is projected to exceed estimated attendance figures.
Over the course of six months, the Peru Pavilion has offered a varied program of activities including cultural exhibitions, gastronomic experiences, and artistic performances, creating a meeting place that connects visitors with the country’s identity and potential.
Peru’s participation in Expo Osaka-Kansai 2025 is led by the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism (PROMPERÚ), an entity attached to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR).
