The complete chloroplast genome of medicinal Reynoutria japonica Houtt. was sequenced and assembled in this study. The genome is 163,410 bp in length and contained 129 encoded genes in total, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 36 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenetic tree based on 14 chloroplast genomes in Polygonaceae support that R. japonica is related to Muehlenbeckia.
