Onokorojima Shrine is one of the most important Shinto shrines on the island of Awaji that are connected to the creation of the Japanese islands according to the ancient myths. Onokorojima Shrine is located in an area known for the myth of the gods creating this nation, according to the “Kojiki”, Japan’s oldest historical record. The shrine is easy to find as a massive, red torii shrine gate, easily the biggest on the island, towers over the surrounding countryside.
