Amaterasu Ōmikami (天照大御神)
The sun deity of Shinto, enshrined at Ise and at shrines that branch from it.
Amaterasu is the sun deity of Shinto and the deity of the inner shrine at Ise. Shrines that allow worship of the Ise deities away from Ise itself are found across Japan; Tokyo Daijingu was founded in 1880 for exactly that purpose and is still called "Tokyo's O-Ise-sama". Where Amaterasu is enshrined, the deity of the outer shrine, Toyouke, is often enshrined alongside.
