“C”-Shaped GPS Art along the Western Shore of Lake Kasumigaura✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Kasumigaura! 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!
Lake Kasumigaura is Japan’s second-largest lake and has long played a central role in the region’s livelihood, industry, and transportation. Around Tsuchiura in particular, waterborne trade flourished, and during the Edo period, the lake served as a vital route for transporting goods within the Mito Domain. Today, it continues to support agriculture and fishing while also serving as a beloved recreational and tourist destination.
This GPS art course runs along the lakeside path, offering a refreshing walk with views of the water and sky. The gentle breeze and serene scenery help ease the mind and add joy to the act of walking itself.
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!
