A new GeV-photon beamline at SPring-8, LEPS II, has been constructed, and we have successfully observed the first beam at LEPS II in early 2013. The commissioning run using a photon detector has also started, and the detector development for a large solenoid magnetic spectrometer is underway. Physics motivations and the current status of LEPS II are described in this article.
