There are activities you can do at the lake. Paddle a boat or fishing. Or you could sit at a cafe and watch the world go by. Surrounded by mountains and nice cool air, it's a trip not to be missed.

We stopped briefly at Mt Haruna between Mt Haruna and Haruna Shrine. It is very pretty and there’s a ‘rope tow’ (ie cable car) up the top. I don’t think it was open the day we drove past.

There are all of nature. Mountain is a good shape. Lake is wide where you can take a walk and row a boat. Around lake are a lot of restaurants. You can eat a nice foods. Enjoy your life in Lake Haruna.

After the shrine if you have time take a bus to the lake. It’s only 10 min.
The lakes spectacular. Well worth a look.
The bus you get back on will take you directly to main train station.

The lake itself is pleasant enough, and the conical Haruna-San overlooking it is impressive, but the whole place feels like it is stuck in the 1970s. The souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants all need a lick of paint and a good clean.
Rather than hanging around at the lake, take the bus up to Haruna shrine, which is much more interesting.

It's a nice relaxing place for a stroll if the weather is nice. But as far as picturesque lakes go, this is nowhere near as nice as lake Chuzenji in Nikko.
But... Haruna is a lot easier to access and the weather around Mt Haruna is more predictable than in Nikko.
If you are driving back to Takasaki from the lake, in the autumn, you can see a lot of farms selling fresh fruit by the road.

We drove up to the lake on a misty day, but the mist added to a special atmosphere over the lake. Activities like renting peddling boats or a motorboat are available. We enjoyed the drive to the lake, but you have to navigate some very narrow roads with a lot of hairpin curves.

Lake is beautiful, rope way cable car ride was nice.
Our kids did a horse ride, probably 15 min short ride. One f the horse keeper that took our kids was very much non- friendly, ignoring to the questions I had and just said "one ride 2000yen".
馬飼のおじさんが最悪でした。
榛名湖自体は楽しかった。

The best experience is hiking in Mount Haruna. You can try fried Wakasagi fish for the lunch. There is a ropeway. But I strongly recommend the hiking if you are strong. If you wish you can try a horse ride, but I did not try. There is a small shrine on the top of Mount Haruna.

Visiting in Early April, The snow still covered some area. And the lake was partially covered by ice. It was romantic scenic view.
At the lakeside have some restaurant and shop, you can use toilet in those shop.

ご質問失礼いたします。
6人なので、モーターボートを借りたのですが、
免許等は必要でしょうか？
また、ワカサギ釣りをやりたいのですが、
モータボートで釣りは、可能でしょうか？

モーターボートをレンタルで操縦するには、運転される方の船舶免許保有が必要です。釣りをされるのであれば、手漕ぎボートに分乗して行うか（あまり湖央までは出られませんが）釣りのガイドツアーに参加されるのが良いでしょう。但し、対象がワカサギでしたら、榛名湖は冬に氷上から釣ることをお勧めします。

Does anyone know if there's a place where I would be able to rent a bike for a couple of hours around Lake Haruna or Ikaho?

We hired a car, so I don't know. However, you could look up Ikaho town to point you in the right direction. You will still need a car to get to the Lakes though.
Hope this helps.
