We study the formation of the first massive galaxies and their observational properties for comparisons with JWST or ALMA data by performing cosmological radiative-hydrodynamics simulations. We find that galaxies in overdense regions have high star formation rates larger than ∼10 M yr-1 at z=10 and their stellar masses reach 109 M. The star formation rates of our model galaxies at z≲12 nicely match recent JWST data. In addition, we show that the morphology of galaxies drastically changes with time via major mergers and stellar feedback.
