“C” GPS Art Drawn in the Tranquility of Himonya✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Himonya Pond! From March 8 (Saturday) to May 31 (Saturday), 2025, a new project of “Walk in Her Shoes 2025”, “Let’s Walk and Draw “C” on the Earth! Let’s start GPS art!
Walk in Her Shoes 2025″ is an international cooperation program to raise awareness about global water issues and the current situation of women and girls in developing countries by simply walking at a time and place of your choice. Let’s draw the “C” of CARE with GPS art and send it to the world!
GPS art in Himonya Park in Meguro-ku, Tokyo. Himonya Pond (Benten Pond), located in the center of Himonya Park, was once a natural pond fed by a spring and has been enjoyed by local residents for many years.
The name Himonya comes from the many old monuments and stone Buddhist statues that remain in the area, suggesting that the area was already deeply connected with people’s beliefs and daily lives during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Today, the name remains, and visitors can feel the quiet flow of time. The park also has a boat launch and animal plaza, making it a place of recreation and relaxation for both children and adults.
This year, by walking or running and leaving a trail of the “C” of CARE and posting the saved GPS image on Facebook, X (Twitter), and Instagram with the two hashtags “#Walking for InternationalCooperation2025” and “#GPSArt,” you can donate 100 yen.
We are also developing a Walk in Her Shoes 2025 version of the “Reply Art” developed by the “Hokuriku GPS Art Club”. Please try this one as well!
