Another belief holds that only Kunitsukami--deities belonging to Okuninushi line--go to Izumo, as does yet another theory according to which Amatsukami, including Amaterasu Omikami (the sun goddess), join them in going to Izumo (there is also an oral tradition which claims that the Amaterasu enshrined at Amaterasu-jinja Shrine in Tsushima is the last to arrive and the first to depart among the gods that visit Izumo during Kannazuki).
また、出雲に行くのは大国主系の国津神だけであるという説や、天照大神を始めとする天津神も出雲に行くという説もある（対馬の天照神社の天照は神無月に出雲に参集する諸神の最後に参上し、最初に退出すると言う伝承がある）。
