Konohanachiru-hime is a Japanese goddess.

Her name means "Blossoms-of- the-Trees-Falling-Princess".

According to the Kojiki she is the spouse of Yashimajinumi and daughter of Ōyamatsumi and thus and the mother of Fuha-no-Mojikunusunu She is an ancestress of Ōkuninushi.

Her sister is Konohanasakuya-hime the volcano goddess worshipped at Sengen shrines and wife of Ninigi

While the Kojiki covers this narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi. The Nihon Shoki on the other hand omits the entire narrative of the ancestry of Okuninushi from Susanoo and has him as a direct son, skipping the section where Konohanachiru-hime is mentioned, however it references the Kojiki alternative narrative.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! card Chirubimé is based on her.
