The K2K experiment is the first accelerator-based long baseline neutrino experiment aiming at confirming the results of atmospheric neutrino observations. The neutrino beam is produced at KEK with an energy of about 1 GeV and is detected at Super-Kamiokande which is 250km away. The results from the data that were accumulated before June 2001 will be presented. On November 12, a severe accident occurred and damaged a significant part of Super-Kamiokande. Studies of how the accident occurred and our recovery plan to restart the K2K experiment will be presented. Finally, we will discuss a next generation neutrino oscillation experiment with the new high intensity proton synchrotron and also discuss a next generation proton decay detector.
