Overview
It is also written as Amakagoyama-no-mikoto or Amagagayama-no-mikoto, so it is also read as "Ame-no-Kagoyama-no-mikoto.
According to the Sekishiroku-jihonki, he is the deity born between Amaterasu's grandson Reihayakunishi (who is equated with Amenohimei-no-mikoto in the Sekishirokuhonki) and Tendouhi-no-mikoto (Amaterasu's great-grandson). Mononobe clan and Umaishimajimei, the ancestor god of the Mononobe clan In Shinsen Seijiroku, the Owari (Sakyo Shinbetsu, etc.), Ifukube (Sakyo Shinbetsu Shimo), Rokuninobe (Yamashiro Shinbetsu), Tsumori (Settsu Shinbetsu), etc. are listed as descendant families. On the other hand, in the "Honjo Ieifu", the father of Manuhatsunarihime, the mother of Isozotankihonomikoto (Reihakuninomikoto), is listed as Amakagorozanokami, which would make him not the son of Reihakuninomikoto but his grandfather. In the Kamei Ieshi, the father of Kaminihayakunomikoto's mother, Manuhatachihime, is listed as Tukeyuhihayakunomikoto, and both Amekagozanokami and Takeyuhihayakunomikoto overlap as the same person.
In the Tenjinhongi of the Predecessor Chronicles, Ame-no-Koyane is counted as one of the thirty-two pillars that followed the Descent of the Heavenly Descendants of Rōhiyōhatsu-no-mikoto, and in the Tenjinhongi, Kumano-eup in Wakayama Prefecture, Shingū City and the Kinokawa River basin. He is also known as Takurikohiko-no-mikoto or Takakura-shita-no-mikoto, which is the same as the tradition of Takakura-shita in the Chronicles (see Takakura-shita for details).
According to the shrine tradition of Yahiko Shrine in Niigata Prefecture, after Emperor Jimmu's sovereignty over Yamato Province, he received an imperial order to pacify and develop the country of Koshi (see Yahiko Shrine for details).
