🎃 Walk & Draw a Cute “Ghost” in Nagoya’s Mizuho Ward 👻
Celebrate Halloween in a fun and active way with this unique GPS art course in Nagoya’s Mizuho Ward! This 7km walking route uses the Yamate Green Road (Yagoto-Yatomi Line) as its backbone, guiding you through Yatomi and Haruyama neighborhoods. By following the path, a delightful “ghost” illustration magically appears on your GPS map — a perfect seasonal adventure for Halloween.
Along the way, walkers can explore Kōshō-ji Temple, a historic site founded as the family temple of the Owari Tokugawa clan, and Susanoo Shrine, a beloved guardian of the local community. The course also passes the Nagoya City University Rehabilitation Hospital, highlighting the area’s role as both a center for healthcare and education.
The Yamate Green Road offers a refreshing, tree-lined walking path where seasonal scenery can be enjoyed throughout the year. While strolling, you’ll notice how the quiet residential streets and academic facilities blend seamlessly with centuries-old temples and shrines, creating a rich and diverse urban landscape.
In the glow of an autumn sunset, the ghost’s silhouette traced on your GPS feels especially magical. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this GPS art course transforms an ordinary walk into a creative Halloween journey through Nagoya’s hidden charms.
