[Access] ○ Take the bus bound for Lake Haruna from JR Takasaki Station for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. If you get off at "Haruna Shrine," it's about a 5-minute walk to the entrance. [Points] ~Get some energy at Haruna Shrine, surrounded by nature~ Haruna Shrine is a must-see spot for sightseeing in this area. It's very far from Takasaki Station, but I think you can spend a full hour just touring inside Haruna Shrine. It's such a big shrine. When you go inside, you'll find the Seven Lucky Gods everywhere, so it's fun to walk around looking for them. In addition, Haruna Shrine has something called "Mizu Omikuji." You can tell your fortune by dipping the paper in water. It's a good idea to try it as a souvenir of your visit. *Information as of October 2024. #0yentravelautumn
