Draw “HOT” in the Heart of Yokohama! A Summer GPS Art through Kannai and Isezakicho✨
Kannai, the cultural and commercial heart of Yokohama, is bustling with tourists and events during summer. This 3km GPS art course leads you through the lively Kannai Station area, the historic Isezakicho Shopping Street, and the portside charm of Minaminakadori—drawing the word “HOT” to match the season. It’s a short, manageable route perfect for the heat.
Kannai developed after Yokohama’s port opened in the Meiji era, becoming a key cultural and business district. Isezakicho Shopping Street is a long-standing local favorite, filled with retro charm and welcoming shops that evoke the atmosphere of Showa-era Japan. Just walking through the area offers a taste of Yokohama’s nostalgic side.
Minaminakadori, near the bay, is home to many historic Western-style buildings that reflect the city’s past as an international port. As you stroll, the sea breeze adds a refreshing touch—even in midsummer.
This is a fun and unique way to experience Yokohama: blending sightseeing and creativity through GPS art. Come take a walk and create “HOT” memories this summer!
