“C”-Shaped GPS Art Along the Eastern Shore of Lake Ashi

International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Lake Ashi! 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!

Located in the scenic town of Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture, Lake Ashi is a caldera lake formed by volcanic activity of Mount Hakone. At an elevation of approximately 723 meters, its calm and expansive surface makes it a beloved natural landmark. A new GPS art course that traces the letter “C” has been designed along the lake’s eastern shore, spanning 9 kilometers. This route allows walkers to enjoy both the natural beauty and rich cultural landmarks of Hakone.
One of the highlights of this area is the combination of Owakudani, Mount Komagatake, and the Hakone Ropeway that connects them. Owakudani is a volcanic valley created by an eruption roughly 3,000 years ago. The area still emits sulfurous steam, offering a dynamic and otherworldly view. Mount Komagatake, standing at 1,356 meters, provides breathtaking panoramic vistas of Lake Ashi and Mount Fuji. The ropeway ride offers a unique aerial journey over the stunning landscape.

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!
