Yamatohime-no-mikoto

Japanese: 倭姫命 - やまとひめのみこと
Yamatohime-no-mikoto

A princess of Emperor Suinin. Her mother was Empress Hibasuhime. In the 25th year of Emperor Suinin's reign, she served Amaterasu Omikami in Kasanui-no-mura, Yamato, instead of Toyosukiirihime-no-mikoto, the daughter of Emperor Sujin. In search of a better place to enshrine her, she passed through Iga, Omi, Mino, and Owari, before moving to Isuzu-kawakami in Ise Province. Also, during the reign of Emperor Keiko, when Yamato Takeru no Mikoto stopped in Ise on his way to the east, it is said that the gods provided him with the Kusanagi sword and warned him to be cautious and not negligent, thus saving him from peril. The site of her traditional tomb is currently in Yamato-machi, Ise City, Mie Prefecture, and Yamatohime-gu Shrine was built in 1923 (Taisho 12) as one of the auxiliary shrines of the Ise Grand Shrine of Ise.
