Abstract Japanese research activities on thermophysical properties of gases and liquids, as well as some historical background, are outlined. The current situation is explained for industrially important substances, such as water and steam, high pressure gases and liquids, refrigerants, molten salts, and other fluids. Related activities are also briefly introduced. Although some of the Japanese studies can be traced back to more than 50 years ago, a systematic effort has been visible only in the last 20 years. However, quite recently, thermophysical properties research has begun to attract attention of more people in science and industry in Japan, probably as the natural sequence to the progress of technology.
