Amatsuhikone (天津日子根命,天津彥根命, which means little lad of Heaven) in Japanese mythology is the third son of Amaterasu.
[citation needed] In many versions, he is born from Amaterasu's jewels in her hair.
[1][2] In other versions he is born from the vine used to bind Amaterasu's hair.
He later descended onto 432-meter Mount Mikami during the reign of Emperor Kōrei (290 - 215 BC) to become the shintai of the mountain.
It is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Yasu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
