Ono Jinja (小野神社) is a Shinto shrine in the Ichinomiya neighborhood of the city of Tama in Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. It is one of the two shrines claiming the title of ichinomiya of former Musashi Province. The main festival of the shrine is held annually on the second Sunday of September. During the Edo Period, it was also called the Ichinomiya Daimyōjin (一宮大明神). The kami enshrined at Ono Jinja are: Ame-no-shitaharu-no-Mikoto (天下春命), ancestor of the Chichibu Kuni no miyatsuko Seoritsu-hime no Mikoto (瀬織津比咩命) Izanagi no Mikoto (伊弉諾尊) Susanoo no Mikoto (素盞嗚尊) Ōkuninushi (大己貴大神) Ninigi (瓊々杵尊) Hikohohodemi no Mikoto (彦火火出見尊) Ukanomitama (倉稲魂命) The origins of Ono Jinja are unknown. The site of the provincial capital of Musashi Province are located nearby, and the shrine first appears in the historical record in 772, followed by a mention in the Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku in 884, and in the Engishiki, where it is listed as a minor shrine. Pilgrim Map presents this site through documented identity and living religious practice, not through star ratings or promises of transformation. Architecture and historical associations can help orient a visit, but they do not replace the meaning made by worship, teaching, memorial practice, service, and care. Visitors should distinguish institutional tradition from independently documented history, especially where a foundation narrative, miraculous account, political memory, or popular origin claim is involved. Approach slowly, read the room before acting, and allow regular worshippers to set the pace.

Ono Shrine belongs to the living Shinto context documented by its institutional and exact-entity sources.

A map can show the threshold of Ono Shrine; it cannot determine what the place means for every devotee. Quiet attention is more responsible than assigning a single mood, energy, or spiritual effect. Notice how people prepare to enter, where they pause, and which spaces remain protected, while avoiding imitation or intrusion.

The cited sources identify Ono Shrine as an exact Shinto institution and provide the bounded historical context summarized here.

The site's present form reflects continuity as well as rebuilding, institutional change, and the work of successive communities. Specific claims are limited to the cited record.

Pause at the torii, use the purification basin when it is open, and approach the worship hall without blocking the central path. At the offering box, visitors commonly bow twice, clap twice, offer a silent prayer, and bow once; posted shrine guidance takes precedence.

Current practice and participation at Ono Shrine follow the institution's own guidance. Do not infer permission from what another visitor does.

Notice the threshold, the order of movement, and the care given to sacred objects without turning observation into performance.

Begin with the site's present threshold rather than a checklist. Put away conversation and devices when worship is underway, yield to people making offerings or attending services, and accept closures without pressing for access. A respectful visit may be brief. Its value does not depend on witnessing a ceremony, entering every building, or producing photographs.

Use the official site and posted notices to distinguish public grounds from worship, residential, administrative, memorial, or conservation spaces.

Read Ono Shrine through its living Shinto community alongside documented history, architecture, and urban context.

Institutional and exact-entity sources establish identity and bound the historical account. Unresolved or contested claims remain explicitly attributed.

According to its tradition, sacred meaning is encountered through worship, teaching, remembrance, and the relationships sustained by the community.

No paranormal, medical, therapeutic, or guaranteed transformative effect is claimed.
