About Lake Haruna
Lake Haruna is a lake. Location: Gunma, Japan. Elevation: 1,081 m.
Lake Haruna (榛名湖, Haruna-ko) is a caldera lake. It lies near the summit of Mount Haruna, within the city limits of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. A former name for the lake is Lake Ikaho (伊香保沼, Ikaho-numa). In the summer, the lake is a popular destination for campers. The surface freezes in the winter, and it affords skating and ice fishing for wakasagi. The lake lies a 90-minute bus ride from Takasaki Station.
