The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) is a pivotal institution in Japan’s astronomical research landscape, established in 1988. It operates under the umbrella of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences and serves as a center for astronomical science, promoting the development of space and ground-based projects. NAOJ manages several world-class facilities, including the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, which is one of the most powerful telescopes in the world, and the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) in Chile, in collaboration with international partners. The observatory is involved in a broad range of research areas, from the exploration of the solar system to the study of cosmological phenomena, and plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe.
