We propose an extension to the currently approved T2K running from 7.8\times 10^{21}~\mbox{POT} to 20\times 10^{21}~\mbox{POT}, aiming at initial observation of CP violation with 3 σ\,\sigma or higher significance for the case of maximum CP violation. The program also contains a measurement of mixing parameters, θ23\theta_{23} and Δm322\Delta m^2_{32}, with a precision of 1.7∘^\circ or better and 1%, respectively. With accelerator and beamline upgrades, as well as analysis improvements, this program would occur before the next generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments that are expected to start operation in 2026
