J-PARC is a research center with a high intensity proton accelerator consisting of a proton LINAC, 3 GeV and 50 GeV synchrotrons, located at Tokai, Japan. High intensity neutron and muon beams produced by 3 GeV protons are employed for material and biological science. A neutrino and hadron beams provided by 50 GeV protons are used for nuclear and particle physics. J-PARC construction was completed last year and various researches have started. We report the present status of the J-PARC project and describe its perspective with an emphasis on the nuclear and particle physics.
