We report on a plan to construct a 50-m-calss single-dish telescope, the Large Submillimeter Telescope (LST). This telescope is optimized for wide-area imaging and spectroscopic surveys in the 70-420 GHz frequency range, which spans the main atmospheric windows at millimeter and sub- millimeter wavelengths for good observation sites such as ALMA site in Chile. We also target observations at higher frequencies up to 1 THz, with using inner high-precision surface. LST will contribute a wide range of topics in astronomy such as SMBH imaging via sub-millimer VLBI.
