Toyouke-hime is the goddess of agriculture, industry, food,[1] clothing,[1] and houses[1] in the Shinto religion. Originally enshrined in the Tanba region[a] of Japan, she was called to reside at Gekū, Ise Shrine, about 1,500 years ago at the age of Emperor Yūryaku to offer sacred food to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the Sun Goddess.[2]

Toyouke-Ōmikami (r: 5th row from the top) is a granddaughter to Izanagi by her father Wakumusubi, who was born while Izanami was still alive (based on Kojiki).

While popular as Toyouke-Ōhmikami presently,[3] her name has been transcribed using Chinese characters in several manners including Toyouke bime no kami (豊宇気毘売神) in the "Kojiki",[3][4] while there is no entry about her in the "Nihon Shoki". Literally, her name means "Luxuriant-food Princess" kami.[5]

Several alternative transcription and names are attributed to this goddess including Toyouke-Okami,[1] Toyouke-Ōmikami, Toyoukebime no kami (豊受気媛神),[6] Toyuuke no kami (登由宇気神),[3][7] Toyouka no Menokami (止与宇可乃売神),[b] Toyuke no Ōkami (等由気太神),[3][8] and Toyohirume (とよひるめ). God and goddess thought to be identical to Toyouke-Ōhmikami are a god Ōmonoimi-no-kami (大物忌神)[c] and a goddess Toyooka hime (豊岡姫).[3][d]

There is a separate shrine dedicated to Toyouke's Ara-mitama, or Toyouke-Ōmikami no Ara-mitama (豊受大御神荒魂) called Takanomiya (Takamiya) inside Gekū. She is worshipped at Chōkaisan Ōmonoimi Shrine
