To be fair, Asakusa does have a lift to street level, right on Kaminarimon-dori where I needed to be, I just didn't find it in my jetlagged state.
I did stumble on Keisei-Ueno station on my last trip, trying to get to the pandas at the zoo before the crowds descended. It's in an odd position (but I guess private railways take what they can get in a city this busy).
