thumb|318px|Overview of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment
is a neutrino observatory and experiment under construction in Hida, Gifu Prefecture and in Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan. It is conducted by the University of Tokyo and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), in collaboration with institutes from over 20 countries across six continents. As a successor of the Super-Kamiokande (also Super-K or SK) and T2K experiments, it is designed to search for proton decay and detect neutrinos from natural sources such as the Earth, the atmosphere, the Sun and the cosmos, as well as to study neutrino oscillations of the man-made accelerator neutrino beam. The beginning of data-taking is planned for 2028.
