Take Shrine
〒515-0321 三重県多気郡明和町斎宮2757−2
A shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) located in Saigū, Meiwa Town, Mie Prefecture. It is situated in 'Nonomiya' (Wild Shrine), a site with historical ties to the Saigū (Imperial Princesses).
History
During the reign of Emperor Chūai, the ancestor of the Take clan enshrined Amaterasu Ōkami (the Great Sun Goddess) and accompanied Yamatohime-no-Mikoto (Princess Yamatohime) on her journey to Ise, settling in this area and residing in Saigū. The shrine was originally established by descendants of the Take clan to worship their ancestral deity. Later, Nagahaku-no-Kami, the ancestor of the Asahi clan, became the main enshrined deity. In 1911 (Meiji 44), 23 shrines from the former Saigū village were consolidated and relocated to the current site.

What visitors say
Located in a quiet forest, the shrine grounds have a calm atmosphere. The landscape is well-maintained, featuring a beautifully decorated Mizuya (water purification basin) adorned with flowers and a gravel-paved sandō (approach path). There is a parking lot, and the surrounding area features old-style house cafes and the Saigū History Museum. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are available on weekends from morning to afternoon, as well as on full moon days.
