History series of Emperor Jimmu’s Eastern Expansion
The oldest temple in the city which bears a connection to the tale of Jimmu’s eastern expansion.
It is also known as Otakebi-no-miya, as Jimmu’s brother Itsusenomikoto is said to have let out a cry of frustration at this place due to the great pain of his injury.
The shrine was moved to its current location in 859 from what is now Tenjin no Mori.
Multiple buildings considered important cultural properties
The main hall, built in the early 17th century, is one of the oldest shrine buildings in the Edo period style, and has as such been designated as a cultural property by Osaka Prefecture. The worship hall and shrine offices have also been designated as tangible cultural properties.
Traditional events
The path to the shrine is a mysterious place that seems to take you back to ancient times.
Within the grounds is one of the largest mukuroji trees in the prefecture, a pair of sacred camphor trees known as Married Couple Camphor, and the overall nature has been selected as one of the top 100 green spots in Osaka.
Additionaly, many traditional events are held every year at Ono-jinja Shrine.
