“C” in Kamikubo Pond, Ueda, Nagano pref. 2km

上窪池の"C"(長野県上田市)のGPSアート

GPS art of “C” drawn near a peace symbol✨

International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Kamikbo Pond! 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!

Kamikubo Pond is an agricultural reservoir that also serves as a beloved local spot for leisurely walks, birdwatching, and seasonal scenery. The surrounding countryside offers peaceful views that evoke a sense of nostalgia, making it an ideal setting for a reflective journey.
Nearby stands the Mugonkan (The Silent Museum), a poignant art museum exhibiting works left behind by student artists who perished in World War II. Their unfinished dreams and deep desire to express themselves are preserved in this space, which continues to inspire thoughts on peace and the value of life.
Creating a “C” here becomes more than a symbol of solidarity with women and children around the world—it also becomes a quiet act of remembrance and reflection. In this intersection of nature, memory, and history, each step carries meaning. Why not leave your mark here with purpose and compassion?

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!
