Haruna Shrine, revered by successive lords including the Numata, Sanada, Honda, and Toki clans, serves as the guardian shrine of Tone Numata. Sanada Nobuyuki renovated the shrine in 1615, and the Sanada family crest, six coins, is visible above the main hall's doors. Legend says that rubbing the Memeyoshi-sama stone behind the main hall and then touching your face will make you beautiful. Located in Numata, Gunma Prefecture, the shrine is accessible by car from Numata IC (11 minutes) or a 10-minute walk from Numata Station. Founded in 1529, it offers a blend of history and natural beauty, with a French restaurant and wedding venue nearby.
