History
Noborito Station opened on 9 March 1927 as the eastern terminus of the Nambu Railway, which was nationalised in April 1944 to become part of the Japanese Government Railways. The neighbouring Odakyu Odawara Line station opened on 1 April 1927 as Inada-Tamagawa Station; it was renamed Noborito-Tamagawa in April 1955 and shortened to Noborito on 1 April 1958. After privatisation on 1 April 1987 the JR side was operated by JR East. A new shared overhead concourse opened on 17 June 2006, and the Odakyu side rebuilt to two-island-four-track in March 2018 to accommodate quadruple-tracking from Tokyo. Station decor was redesigned with Doraemon motifs from February 2019 to mark the nearby Fujiko F. Fujio Museum.

Notes
Since 2016 the station has used Fujiko-related theme songs as departure melodies on the JR platforms, commemorating the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum that opened in nearby Tama Ward in 2011.
