[edit] Noborito (登戸)

Noborito is located in the western part of Tokyo metropolisis on the Tama River approximately 18 minutes south of Shinjuku on the Odakyu Express.

During World War II, Imperial Japanese Army established its secret institute for reserching 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 boring bed town and company dormitory for workers to commute to more exciting destinations such as Kawasaki and Tachikawa, and of course Shinjuku. Certainly the morning stampede between the Odakyu and Nambu lines suggests no one wants to stay long. But Noborito has some pleasant surprises, not least the Taro Okamoto Art Museum and MinKa-en folk village.

These settlements are nearer from Mukōgaoka-Yūen Station than Noborito Station.
