Ono-jinja Shrine is a small soja (shrine enshrining several gods) located at the foot of Mt. Konzesan, but it receives many visitors from both across Japan and overseas. It is a spot with special significance for fans of the Japanese pop group “Arashi,” and offers a popular range of talismans based on the members of the group. The tower gate is also a designated Important Cultural Property. It was constructed in the Kamakura period (1192 to 1333), making it the oldest tower gate in Shiga.
