History edit

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. It is styled as the "ichinomiya" of Musashi in the early Kamakura period Azuma Kagami and in the Nanboku-chō period Shintōshū.The shrine was rebuilt in the Sengoku period by the Late Hōjō clan and Ota Dokan and received a stipend in the Edo Period from the Tokugawa shogunate.^[2]

During the Meiji period era of State Shinto, the shrine was rated as a county shrine under the Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines.

The shrine is located a six-minute walk from Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Station on the Keio Electric Railway Keio Line.^[3]
