AI-written summary
Sarutahiko-no-Okami is a kami in Japanese mythology, described 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 from the heavens to earth. Because of this role as guide at the crossroads between heaven and earth, he has long been venerated in association with roads, travel, and crossroads, and shrines dedicated to him, such as Tsubaki Grand Shrine, are visited by those seeking safe passage on journeys. Worship of Sarutahiko reflects his traditional character as a guiding and protective presence rather than a figure tied to a single fixed legend.
