J-PARC facility and physics opportunities

J-PARC project is now in the fifth year of its construction. It will provide high-power protons at (1) 3 GeV for the usage spallation neutrons and muons and 2) 50 GeV for the usage of kaons and neutrinos. From JFY2004 the neutrino program has been officially approved for construction. The total budget is over 1,500 Oku Yen for Phase 1 project of the J-PARC. According to the present plan, the first beams will be available in 2008. In this talk, I will present a) current status of the project, b) plans for Day-1, c) plans beyond Day-1, and d) major issues that have to be solved now.
