AI-written summary

Sarutahiko no Okami (Sarutahiko-no-Okami) is a kami of Japanese mythology, most notably recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki as the deity who met the heavenly grandson Ame-no-Uzume and guided the descent of Amaterasu's grandson to earth. Because of this role as a guide who showed the way at a crossroads, he is traditionally venerated as a kami associated with travel, roads, and crossings, and is often enshrined at Sarutahiko Shrine and related sites. Devotees have long sought his favor before journeys, though the shrine traditions and specific efficacies attributed to him vary by region and era.
