Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) with muons has attracted much attention from theorists and experimentalists in particle physics. Its physics motivation and experimental prospects are discussed. In particular, the J-PARC E21 experiment (called COMET) to search for a CLFV process of muon to electron conversion at a single event sensitivity of 10^{-17} is presented. It would be about 10,000 improvement over the previous limit. The COMET experiment is stage-1 approved at J-PARC. The R&D status of COMET is presented.
