According to Izumo kokuso kanyogoto, Amenohohi was sent to the ground to appease akujin (kami who give harms and damages to people) on the ground, reported the situation on the ground to Amaterasu, and brought peace to the ground along with Amenohinadori, his child, and Futsunushi, a god of sword.
これによれば、アメノホヒは地上の悪神を鎮めるために地上に遣わされ、地上の様子をアマテラスにきちんと報告し、子のアメノヒナドリおよび剣の神フツヌシとともに地上を平定した、としている。
