辯天神社(benten-shrine)

You might be able to find some information if you do a proper research at the Nagasaki City Library.
I didn’t know this shrine existed, and when I happened to be driving to the end of the island, a crow kept running in front of my car and landed on this torii gate.
I watched the crow for a while.
For some reason, I parked the car and went over to the torii gate, but the crow still didn’t fly away.
Eventually, the crow flew away.
For some reason, I decided to go through the torii gate and enter the cave.

Inside Benten Shrine
I didn’t have a flashlight, so I moved around using my smartphone light instead of taking photos in pitch-black areas.
I turned on the light and looked up, and, since I wasn’t bending over very much, I saw the face of a bat about 20cm above my head. So close!!
I remember being so startled that my eyes widened. It’s hard to say it’s a memory, but…
There were spiders hanging from the ceiling, so it’s best to have something to cover your face.
I went in wearing the hoodie, long sleeves, and a long skirt. I got caught in a spider’s web but escaped unharmed. There was a staircase, and offerings can still be found there. Water was dripping inside the cave.
It seems that someone comes to worship regularly.
