Yamato Okunitama Shrine
 is a kami. They are the Okunitama or Provincial God of Yamato Province. They are the Ujigami of Yamato no Kuni no Miyatsuko and worshipped at Ōyamato Shrine

They appear in the Nihon Shoki. They used to be worshipped in the Imperial palace. But Emperor Sujin was disturbed by the presence of both Yamato Okunitama and Amaterasu Omikami at his palace, and promoted Amaterasu over him. https://www.japanpolicyforum.jp/pdf/2016/no35/DJweb_35_cul_02.pdfhttps://freidok.uni-freiburg.de/fedora/objects/freidok:4635/datastreams/FILE1/content This may be why Amaterasu is the main kami in Shinto today.
