The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) has constructed a new geodetic observing station including an up-to-date VLBI radio telescope in Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Besides the VLBI radio telescope and GNSS CORSs that were already completed in March 2014, Absolute Gravity points will be available after completion of the observing building in February 2016. We will report the recent status of the whole facilities in Ishioka station. In addition, we will also mention the preliminary results of VLBI experiences carried out using the new radio telescope.
