Mount Haruna (榛名山,Haruna-san) is a dormantstratovolcano inGunma Prefecture, in theKantō region of easternHonshū, Japan.

Mount Haruna started to form more than 300,000 years ago and the last known eruption was 550 AD.^[1] The volcano has a summitcaldera containing the symmetricalcinder cone ofMount Haruna-Fuji, along with acrater lake,Lake Haruna, along the western side.^[1] To the west of the lake isMount Kamonga, the tallest of Mount Haruna's numerous peaks at 1,449 meters (4,754 ft) high.

The lake and the area to its east, as well as the southern and southwestern slopes, lie within the borders ofTakasaki city. The border ofShibukawa city (to the east) nearly approaches Lake Haruna. BothShinto village andYoshioka town are on the southeast slopes of the mountain. The northern and northwestern slopes lie withinHigashi Agatsuma town, which also bounds Lake Haruna. The summit lies on the border of Takasaki and Higashi Agatsuma.

Mount Haruna, along withMount Akagi andMount Myōgi, is one of the "Three Mountains of Jōmō." (Jōmō is an old name for Gunma.)

The Japanesebattlecruiser/BattleshipHaruna was named after the Mount Haruna.

The mountain was made famous in the manga seriesInitial D under the fictional name Akina (秋名), where the main character, Takumi Fujiwara, deliverstofu every day to a hotel uphill, and back down using his father's highly modifiedToyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86). It is also where Takumi won his first few races. It is the home course for the racing team called the Akina Speed Stars with which Takumi becomes closely associated. Later in the anime Takumi, due to his unbeatable track records and for his downhill driving technique, is popularly referred to as 'Akina's 86'.
