J-Net (Japanese VLBI Network) is the only VLBI network available for common use in Japan. It consists of three antennas belonging to the National Astronomical Observatory (NAO) of Japan (45-m antenna at Nobeyama Radio Observatory, 10-m antenna at Mizusawa Astrogeodynamics Observatory, and 6-m antenna at Kagoshima) and one antenna of the Communications Research Laboratory (34-m antenna at the Kashima Space Research Center) that participates as a base for joint research with NAO. The J-Net started common-use observations in the 22-GHz band in 1994. It has been used mainly for imaging VLBI observations of water vapor masers in star-forming regions and late-type stars with resolutions of several milliarcseconds, The contributions of J-Net to Japanese VLBI activity have been extensive.
