National Astronomical Observatory of Japan

Free, hardly any foreign tourists, my daughter is astronomy fan, so we came to visit specially, there are various huge telescopes, detectors, satellites, popular science movies, local student organizations to visit, there is a national research laboratory. Mainly Japanese introduction, some English, rarely see staff, can only rely on self-help.

It was quite vacant even on Saturday and I could see it slowly. The inside is like a large park, and you can take a walk because the observatory is point 々. It was like a little adventure and it was a lot of fun. A nearby college student eagerly explained the telescope.

Several Astronomical Observatories, observation facilities and observation equipment can be observed. The historical materials and the commentary of the old star dry photograph, etc.are substantial, and it is an optimum facility to learn the history of the modern astronomical observation in Japan. It is not the main building, but because there are many old buildings. It is also the location of the Ultraman gilde and the Maggiore.

The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) is composed of several astronomical research institutes in Japan and the observatory in Hawaii.

The empty starry sky looks really beautiful at night. There are many enthusiasts coming to the Observatory.
