Abstract	The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric e^+e^- collider, which has started commissioning and is working towards its design luminosity of 8 \times 10^{35} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. The Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab^{-1} of data, a factor of 50 more than the Belle experiment. This large data set will be accumulated with low backgrounds and high trigger efficiencies in a clean e^+e^－ environment and will provide unprecedented sensitivity to new physics signatures in B and D meson decays as well as \tau lepton decays. This talk will review the present status of the detector upgrade, and the physics capabilities of this experiment.
