Temple of the Kami of Ise, located in Aomori Prefecture, is dedicated to a lesser-known Shinto deity named Tamayuzure kami, also known as Tamayuzure no kami or Tamayuzuru. The shrine's name is derived from the town where the shrine was built, but its main enshrined deity is not directly related to any prominent Shinto kami in Japanese history.
