Onominato Shrine is a Beppyo shrine in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture.[1]
History
According to Japanese mythology Sarutahiko Okami, the main god of the shrine, was discovered in the sea during a voyage by an individual named Sana from Mutsu Province in the year 727. Upon enshrining the deity in the gold stone Masagoyama pole forest, it was bestowed the name "Sanatake Daimeijin."[1]
The shrine was originally on a beach, but the shrine was moved to its present site in 1252 following a fire that destroyed the original structure.[1]
The shrine faced destruction again during the turmoil of the Ikko-ikki rebellions. It was restored by Toshiie Maeda in 1586. Later, in 1639, Maeda Toshitsune, the third feudal lord, constructed three primary shrines within its precincts.[1]
In 1872, it became a village shrine and subsequently gained reverence in 22 neighboring towns, including Kanaiwa Town. By 1879, it received the status of a prefectural shrine. Presently, it stands as an individual shrine affiliated with the Association of Shinto Shrines.[1]

Cultural property
In 1982, the three main shrines of Onominato Shrine were declared cultural assets of Ishikawa Prefecture. [1]
The Chinju no Mori of the shrine, and its older worship hall, along with various documents, are recognized as cultural properties. [1]
The Shinto ritual Noh, emblematic of Kanazawa's traditional culture, has been staged more than 400 times since 1604. The shrine's summer festival stands out in Kanazawa for its magnitude and splendor, and has been labeled an intangible folk cultural asset of Kanazawa City.[1] Maeda Toshiie promoted Noh, and his son revived its practice at this shrine.[2]
