The 10th Pacific Island Leaders' Meeting (PALM) brought together representatives from 18 members of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF).
The agenda is expected to focus on key issues affecting the region, from strengthening security to finding ways to respond to, mitigate and adapt to climate change.
The conference is expected to issue a joint statement on July 18.
Speaking ahead of the event, Prime Minister Kishida said that Japan and the participating countries "have come together to address common challenges such as climate change and disaster management".
As we adapt to changing circumstances together, Tokyo will continue to move forward with the island nations and territories in the Pacific, he stressed.
Japan has long supported Pacific island nations due to its historical ties with them.
The PALM conference is an important forum for this Northeast Asian country and Pacific island nations to discuss measures to address common challenges, as well as strengthen cooperation to promote peace, stability and sustainable development in the region.
