United States The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) consists of several facilities located in Japan, as well as an observatory in Hawaii and Chile. NAOJ was initially compromised of three exisiting research organizations, and officially became a division of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) in 2004, along with the National Institute for Basic Biology, the National Institute for Fusion Science, the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, and the Institute for Molecular Science, to encourage research collaborations. The Hawaii observatory is located on the summit of Mauna Kea, with access to the facility managed by Mauna Kea Observatories, through the University of Hawaii's Hilo Base Facility. The Hawaii observatory houses the 8-meter Subaru Telescope, which achieved First Light in December 1998. The telescope has been made available to both Japanese and the international community of astronomers since December 2000. For more information, see https://www.nao.ac.jp/en/
