Draw “HOT” in the Heart of Wakayama! A 3km GPS Art Course around Burakuri-cho✨
This 3km GPS art course lets you draw the word “HOT” while strolling through Burakuri-cho, the bustling heart of Wakayama City. Designed for the hot summer season, this short and accessible route is perfect for a casual walk. Once known as the “Ginza of Kishu,” Burakuri-cho flourished during the Edo period as a commercial hub, and today, its nostalgic shopping arcades and locally-owned stores retain a charming retro atmosphere.
The course passes near the moat of Wakayama Castle and winds through the historic former castle town. Located at the mouth of the Kinokawa River, the area can get hot and humid in summer, but covered arcades and shaded streets provide welcome relief from the sun.
This route offers a delightful way to explore the historic charm of Wakayama while creating your own “HOT” on the map. Why not enjoy some local food or shopping along the way? It’s an easy and fun GPS art experience that blends culture, history, and creativity in the heart of the city.
