The XMASS project is designed for multiple physics goals using highly-purified liquid xenon scintillator in an ultra-low radioactivity environment. As the first stage of the project, the detector with 835 kg of liquid xenon was constructed and is being operated. In this paper, we present results from our commissioning data, current status of the experiment, and a next step of the project.
