In the summer, the lake is a popular destination for campers. The surface freezes in the winter, and it affords skating and ice fishing for "wakasagi".

The lake lies a 90 minute bus ride from Takasaki Station. It can be reached in 40 minutes by car from Shibukawa-Ikaho Interchange, #12 on the Kan-Etsu Expressway.

A "kayōkyoku" refers to the lake in its title. Akira Fuse recorded the tune, named "Haruna-ko no shōjo". The music is by Rei Nakanishi and the lyrics by Ken'ichirō Morioka.
