Noborito (登戸 ) is a neighborhood located in Tama-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan just across the southwestern border of Tokyo metropolis on the Tama River approximately 18 minutes south of Shinjuku on the Odakyu Odawara Line Express.
During World War II, Imperial Japanese Army established its secret institute, the Number Nine Research Laboratory, for researching special weapons - Balloon bomb, Counterfeit Bill, and other chemical and biological weapons. It's called "Noborito Institute" now, and several houses are used by Meiji University.
For many years after 1945 Noborito was thought of as a rather sleepy bed town and company dormitory for workers to commute to more urban destinations such as Kawasaki and Tachikawa, and of course Shinjuku.
Noborito has some pleasant surprises, not least the Taro Okamoto Art Museum and MinKa-en folk village.
With regards to the train stations in Japan, these settlements are nearer from Mukōgaoka-Yūen Station than Noborito Station.
