I wanted to visit this shrine because it has the same name as the famous shrine in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. (Shizuoka Prefecture was formerly known as Suruga Province.)
This is what Wikipedia says about this shrine -
The Fuji Sengen Shrine (富士浅間神社, Fuji Sengen Jinja) is a Shinto Shrine located in Osu in central Nagoya, central Japan.
History
The shrine dates back to 1495, when a portion of the god of Sengen Shrine in Suruga Province was solicited to come down and be worshiped. Preserved there is the Yugai-kyakutsuki no tsubo (lidded-and-legged urn), which was found at the nearby ancient grave mound of Nagoyayama. The current shrine buildings date to the Showa Era.

Hello Pamela: Love that Japan has not destroyed the Shrine from the 1400s, I see so many modern buildings around it amazing.

I guess I should never be surprised when you visit town and they have many shrines, but I always am!
What a charming shrine!
