浅草富士浅間神社

You'll find this shrine about 15 minutes north of the main Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line) on foot, in a quiet residential pocket of "Oku-Asakusa" near the Asakusa Police Station. If you're coming from the Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, the walk is closer to 10 minutes. On hot or rainy days, a bus to the Asakusa Police Station stop cuts the walk to just 2 or 3 minutes.

The compact grounds are well maintained and calm, a real contrast to the crowds around Senso-ji. The main draw is the fujizuka, a mound built from actual Mt. Fuji lava, located behind the main hall. You can't climb it freely due to safety restrictions, but it's striking up close.
