At Take Shrine stands a treasure house built in the azekura style (the
buildings are made of triangularly cut logs), which was designated by Hiroshima
Prefecture as an important cultural property in 1954. A little more than thirty
buildings in the azekura style now remain in Japan. In the case of Take Shrine,
however, the logs are cut squarely, revealing unique, beautiful lines inside and
outside of the walls. The shape of the logs, like abacus beads, is unique and has
no equal in other buildings in Japan.
 In 1868, the Asano family, the owners of Hiroshima Castle, contributed the
treasure house, which had been situated in Inari Shrine of Hiroshima Castle, to
Take Shrine. The treasure house had been built early in the Edo period, around
the time Asano entered Hiroshima to administer the region.
 In September, 1915, Take Shrine caught fire, but the treasure house survived.
It remains an important historic building to this day.
 According to Nihonshoki, a history of ancient Japan, Japan's legendary first
emperor Jimmu stopped by Take Shrine when he made a long march to eastern
provinces. The shrine is also called Enomiya because in the book Nihonshoki,
the shrine that emperor Jimmu visited was called Enomiya.
 In the nearby Yahata district, there is also a flat, one-tatami mat size stone
that the emperor Jimmu was supposed to have rested on.
