The test firing on the type 12 missiles is taking place as the Australian Defence Force hosts the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2023.
While it will be a live fire event, the missiles will not be carrying explosive ordnance.
This will be the first time the truck-mounted missiles have been tested in Australia.
Chief of staff for Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, General Morishita Yasunori, said the surface to ship missile firing exercise would "enhance a high level of trust between Australia and Japan".
He said Exercise Talisman Sabre "strengthens cooperation with Australia and the US, which will help maintain and strengthen a free and open Indo-Pacific".
Talisman Sabre exercise director Brigadier Damian Hill said the missile testing was evidence of strengthening links between Australia and Japan.
"This is the first time the JSDF have tested this capability in Australia and is an example of how our partnership continues to grow and deepen," Brigadier Hill said.
The type 12 surface-to-ship missile was developed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2012, with a range of about 200 kilometres.
However Japan has been working to introduce an upgraded ship-launched variant of the missiles by 2026, which are planned to have an extended range of between 200 and 1000km.
