We present current status of H$\alpha$ high-contrast imaging observations with Subaru/SCExAO+VAMPIRES. Our adaptive optics correction at optical wavelengths in combination with (double) spectral differential imaging (SDI) and angular differential imaging (ADI) was capable of detecting a ring-like feature around omi Cet and the H$\alpha$ counterpart of jet around RY Tau. We tested the post-processing by changing the order of ADI and SDI and both of the contrast limits achieved $\sim10^{-3}-5\times10^{-4}$ at $0.3^{\prime\prime}$, which is comparable to other H$\alpha$ high-contrast imaging instruments in the southern hemisphere such as VLT/SPHERE, VLT/MUSE, and MagAO. Subaru/VAMPIRES provides great opportunities for H$\alpha$ high-contrast imaging for northern hemisphere targets.
