Abstract
Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) is a proposed next generation neutrino experiment, aiming at the measurement which starts at 2027. Hyper-K project includes a high intensity accelerator neutrino beamline at J-PARC and large water Cherenkov far detectors. Each detector will provide the fiducial volume of 0.19 Mt ultra-pure water. Due to its world-largest water volume, superior performance of the new photodetector and the location at deep underground, Hyper-K will also have great capability for neutrino astrophysics and push back the frontiers. Here, the Hyper-K's detector performance for MeV neutrinos will be shown. Then the issues for neutrino astrophysics and our reach will be discussed, i.e., for solar neutrino, supernova burst neutrino and supernova relic neutrino observations.
