Mt. Haruna

Mt. Haruna is not only the symbol of Gunma but is also selected as one of Japan's top 100 mountains. There is a caldera lake, Lake Haruna, located at the top of Mt. Haruna, which is surrounded by the peaks of Haruna-Fuji, Mt. Eboshi, Mt. Tenmoku, Mt. Soma and Mt. Kamongatake. Especially Haruna-Fuji, which is the symbol of Mt. Haruna, has a beautiful form resembling the famous Mt. Fuji and the "mirrored Fuji" reflecting on Lake Haruna is breathtakingly beautiful.

Lake Haruna Formed by a Volcanic Eruption

Lake Haruna, a caldera lake formed by the eruption of Mt. Haruna, is a beautiful place where azalea bloom during spring and autumn leaves take on a beautiful color during autumn. From April through November, there are cruises and paddle boats to explore the lake surface, and from late January to late February, when the surface freezes, you can do ice fishing for wakasagi (surf smelt).

Lilies Decorate Mt. Haruna in Summer

Yellow lilies have been blooming on Mt. Haruna since ancient times. It is a short-lived flower that blooms one afternoon before sunset and fades already by the next morning, but a certain strength can be seen in the way they live in large colonies. The best time to view is from mid-July to mid-August along the "lily road" Yuusuge no Michi.
