Although there is no more description than this in the "Kojiki," the legend left in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture, goes that Takeminakata no kami, who was born between Okuninushi and Nunakawa hime, went up the Himekawa River to Suwa and became an enshrined deity of the Suwa-taisha Shrine.
『古事記』にはこれ以外の記述はないが、新潟県糸魚川市に残る伝承では、大国主と沼河比売との間に生まれた子が建御名方神で、姫川をさかのぼって諏訪に入り、諏訪大社の祭神になったという。
