🎃 A Spooky Run at Goryokaku! Draw a Halloween Ghost with GPS Art in Hakodate 👻
Celebrate Halloween in a truly unique way with a GPS art course in the historic city of Hakodate! This 18km route takes you around the iconic Goryokaku area, where you’ll draw an adorable ghost across the city map.
The journey begins at the star-shaped fortress of Goryokaku, a symbol of Hakodate and a pivotal site of the Boshin War. Nearby, the Goryokaku Tower offers breathtaking views of the star-shaped landmark from above, while the Hakodate Museum of Art adds a cultural touch to the run.
Hakodate itself is a city where Japanese and Western influences blend seamlessly, a legacy of its history as an international port. From Western-style architecture and exotic streetscapes to its natural beauty, every step immerses you in the city’s unique charm.
This GPS art course is more than just a run—it’s an experience that fuses history, culture, and playfulness. As your running app traces out a whimsical Halloween ghost, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind memory to treasure.
