Hayatamao-no-mikoto is a deity found within the Kumano faith tradition of Japanese Shinto, venerated particularly at Kumano Hayatama Shrine and associated sites connected to the broader Kumano Sanzan complex. This kami is linked to purification and exorcism, reflecting the ritual traditions of cleansing and spiritual protection central to Kumano worship. As with many figures in this tradition, Hayatamao-no-mikoto is often mentioned alongside other Kumano deities, and the deity's mythological details are less widely documented than its ritual role in purification practices.
