Onokorojima Shrine, Shinto shrine in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan

Onokorojima-jinja stands in Minami-Awaji, Hyogo Prefecture, on a hill said to be the island where Izanagi and Izanami created the Japanese land. Its grounds hold a honden, a haiden that also serves as kagura hall, a shōmusho, and the Sekirei Stone, where a pair of wagtails was seen mating. The landmark is a vermilion torii 21.7 m tall, built in March 1982, with three gold floral emblems on its top crossbar.

The hill where the shrine stands is identified in tradition as Onokoro-jima, the island where Izanagi and Izanami performed the creation of the Japanese land and deities. The shrine's name is difficult to read, so stone markers, signboards and road signs use the form Onokoro-jima Jinja. A separate Onokoro Jinja exists on nearby Nushima.

The shrine's name is hard to read, so stone markers in the grounds, roadside signs and maps use the form Onokoro-jima Jinja. Its main deities are Izanagi and Izanami, with Kukurihime also enshrined. A pair of wagtails seen mating on the Sekirei stone led the two deities to establish marriage and produce child kami, so couples come to pray for matchmaking and safe childbirth.

The shrine stands on a low hill in Minami-Awaji, reached by the city road along the Mihara River; the vermilion Onokoro Bridge crosses the river just west of it. By car, take the Nishi-Dan-Mihara interchange and follow routes 31, 477 and 478 for about 6 km. The Ranran bus stops at Onokoro-jima Shrine, and Enami bus stop is a 10-minute walk away.

The shrine's name is hard to read, so stone markers, signboards and road signs use the form Onokoro-jima Jinja. A similar name, Onokoro Jinja, belongs to a different shrine on Nushima island. The vermilion Onokoro Bridge crosses the Mihara River just west of the grounds.
