The outline of the planned Japanese VLBI system for the Earth rotation study and astrometry (VERA) is described. As a result of simulation study, it is concluded that precision and accuracy of the VLBI estimates of astronomical and geophysical parameters are remarkably improved when VERA participates in the present IRIS network.
