Wakahirume is a goddess of the rising sun in Japanese mythology in Shinto mythology.[1] She is the daughter or younger sister of the sun goddess Amaterasu.[2] Some interpretations view her as the personification of the morning sun.[3]

She was involved in making garments for the kami.[4] In some versions Wakahirume was killed when Susanoo threw a flayed pony at her while she was in Amaterasu's weaving hall as written in the Nihongi.[5][2] The goddess also appears in the Jindaiki where the boat returning from Empress Jingū's sankan-gaisei (campaign for the three Korean kingdoms) tried to head to Nanba and could not go straight, they returned to Muko no minato Port (Kobe Port) to do some fortune-telling. Wakahirume no mikoto appeared and there was a divine message, 'I would like to stay in Ikuta Nagao no kuni'. Thus, Unagami no Isachi was ordered to enshrine her. This is today's Ikuta Shrine.
