2026 Haruna Lake Fireworks Festival Full-Day Course
Centered around the Haruna Lake Fireworks Festival held on August 7 (Friday), 2026, this is a full-day course to enjoy the highland lake area of Haruna Lake (榛名湖) in Gunma Prefecture. Located at 1,100 meters elevation, Haruna Lake remains cool even in midsummer, with beautiful scenery created by mountains and water. In the afternoon, enjoy boating on the lakeshore, and visit Haruna Shrine (榛名神社), known as one of the Kanto region's most renowned power spots, to experience the quiet mountain air. By evening, secure your spot on the lakeshore and wait for the show while enjoying street food and gourmet offerings. At night, savor approximately 1,500 fireworks spreading across the lake. Fireworks launched from a mountain-surrounded lake echo off the surrounding peaks, and the light reflected on the water creates a fantastical night. A definitive summer plan for enjoying Haruna Lake in the cool mountain air.
