📖 Details
Located at an altitude of 1,048 meters, Lake Haruna is a volcanic crater lake formed by the eruption of Mount Haruna, one of the "Three Mountains of Jomo." In winter, the lake's surface completely freezes over.
Throughout the year, it offers beautiful scenery and nature, making it the most popular outdoor destination in Takasaki City. Visitors can enjoy activities such as boating, cycling, and car camping in the fresh air of the plateau.
In addition, various sporting events, including mountain biking and triathlons, are held year-round. The "Haruna Lake Light Festival," adorned with about 200,000 lights along the lakeside in winter, is also a must-see, transporting you into a dreamlike world reminiscent of a fairy tale.
In autumn, the surrounding trees change into vibrant colors, making the scenery even more stunning. The view of the colorful Mount Haruna reflected on the lake is particularly enchanting. The lake view from the mountaintop is beautiful, and from September to late November, visitors can also enjoy fishing for sweetfish by boat.
