International cooperation by walking! GPS art of “C” all over Japan✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Tokyo! 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 at Atsuta Jingu (Atsuta Shrine) in Atsuta-ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Atsuta Jingu is a historic shrine with a history of over 1,900 years, and is known as a sacred place that enshrines the legend of Yamato Takeru and the “Kusanagi Sword,” one of the three sacred treasures of Japan. In addition, the Horikawa River and the Shinhorikawa River run east and west of the shrine. These two rivers meet in the southern part of the shrine, where the Shichiri-no-watashi (ferry) is located. The area downstream from here used to be the sea, but has been reclaimed and is now inland.
While enjoying the Jingu Shrine and the surrounding area that was once the seaside, you can draw a “C” on your walking trail.
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!
