Good point. Is the publishing journal a better indication of low-quality research than the research institution that conducted the study (the Tokyo University of Science, in this case)?

Probably, generally you want to publish in the best journal you can, and if the journal is know for bad/easy publishing then that would correlate better. Universities have many many research groups, so while generally good research institutions will probably have better research and paper quality you can still have worse ones.

Institutions don't dictate quality. Harvard has a long history of garbage studies an various wankers. TUS is NOT University of Tokyo. Quality can only be judged by critically reading the paper.
