Visiting NAOJ

Access/Visiting
We, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), strive to be a research institute open to the public. Some of the facilities are open to the public to the extent that it doesn’t interfere with research activities. In addition to the latest observational instruments you can also see historical research equipment. You can feel the flow of history connecting past astronomical observations to current observations.
