Shiotsuchinooji-no-Kami is a Shinto deity associated with the sea and tides, often depicted as an elderly figure who serves as a guide or messenger, notably in the myth of Hoori's journey to the palace of the sea god. This kami is traditionally linked to safe passage and guidance across the sea, and some shrines connect the deity to broader blessings of protection and well-being. While popular tradition in certain locales associates Shiotsuchinooji-no-Kami with fertility and safe childbirth, this connection is a matter of local devotional practice rather than a claim of guaranteed efficacy.
