thumb|250x250px|Izushi Shrine, [[Hyōgo Prefecture]]

was a legendary prince of Silla who settled in Japan during the era of Emperor Suinin, around the 3rd or 4th century. Amenohiboko is said to have lived in Tajima Province; the Tajima clan (多遅摩氏) and the Miyake clan have claimed to be his descendants. He is the ancestral god of Tajima Province and is supposedly enshrined in the Shinto Shrine (Izushi jinja) at Toyooka in Hyōgo Prefecture. Seven or eight treasures brought by Amenohiboko from Silla are thought to be housed in Izushi Shrine in Hyōgo Prefecture.
