Shrine Gods
Susanoo
He is the younger brother of Amaterasu.
At first he did many terrible things such as killing Amaterasu’s follower.
The incident made Amaterasu hide in cave which turned the world into darkness.
Other Gods punished Susanoo and exiled him out of heaven.
After that Susanoo became a good God and defeated a huge snake of 8 heads which had frightened the people on earth.
His benefits include fruitiful harvests, removal of evil spirits and romance.
Amenotadzikarao
Amenotadzikarao is the God of strength.
When Amaterasu hid herself in the cave, many Gods held a party in front of the cave.
When Amaterasu took a look at the party from the cave, Amenotadzikarao quickly removed the stone in front of the cave and took Amaterasu out of it.
His benefits include improvement of sports skills.
