Mount Haruna
 
basic information

Mount Haruna, or Harunasan, is one of the three most famous mountains of Gunma Prefecture, and can be seen prominently in the sky from dozens of miles away. The town of Ikaho is built along its eastern slopes. At the center of Harunasan is a asymmetrically coned projection which is called Haruna Fuji, due to its resemblance to Mount Fuji.

A ropeway has been installed on Haruna Fuji that allows visitors to travel easily to its peak, from which one can look out onto the surrounding landscape. Many trails have been made around the area, which are sometimes designed to guide visitors through particular regional flora.

Lake Haruna is situated at Haruna Fuji's base, and boats are available to rent by the half hour for about 700 yen. The lake is a well known spot for ice-fishing in the winter. The lake's most popular catch is the wakasagi fish, which is served around town as a specialty throughout the year.
