I am standing atop one of Kita Senju's three Fujizuka 富士塚 (a small surrogate of Mt. Fuji).
The others are at the Senju Jinja in Senju Miyamotocho & the Yanagihara Inari Jinja.
Built in 1824, this representation of Mt. Fuji is the nineth oldest in the Tokyo area.
It is one of the few that can still be scaled.

お化け煙突モニュメント Ghost Chimneys monument
The four chimneys of the Senju Thermal Power Station (1926-1964) were called Ghost Chimneys because, depending of the light and vantage point, they could appear to be one, two, three or four chimneys.
The monument is on the campus of 帝京科学大学 Teikyō kagaku daigaku (Science University) Senju campus by the Sumida River near the Otake bridge.
Ohashi Ganka (ophthalmology) Clinic (rebuilt in 1982 after the original Taisho Era building from 1917).
