Ichinomiya (一の宮町, Ichinomiya-machi) was a town located in Aso District, Kumamoto, Japan.

On February 11, 2005 Ichinomiya was merged with the town of Aso (old), and the village of Namino, all from Aso District, to form the new city of Aso and no longer exists as an independent municipality.

Ichinomiya literally means "the first shrine" of the province. In case of this town, it referred to the Aso Shrine of the Higo Province.

As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 9,977 and a density of 94.54 persons per km². The total area was 105.53 km².
