Mount Haruna (榛名山, Harunasan) is a 1449 meter high, dormant volcano in Gunma Prefecture, which together with Mount Myogi and Mount Akagi, form the "Three Famous Mountains of Gunma".
At the center of Mount Haruna's caldera stands a perfectly symmetrical, cone-shaped projection called Haruna Fuji, due to its resemblance to Mt. Fuji.
The crater lake at the top of Mount Haruna is known as Lake Haruna and is a popular spot for boating and fishing. In winter, the lake is a popular ice-fishing spot and known for the local wakasagi fish.
Rowboats and swan shaped pedal boats are available to rent for between 1500 yen per 30 minutes! " Since Kent is the captain of the boat, he made a serious face. "
Hannah was a big afraid of being in the boat. We also had a bit rain .
