GPS art on a tour of agricultural and industrial history✨
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 on Showa Marsh in Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Showa Marsh is a man-made swamp that was excavated to create an industrial park during the postwar reconstruction period of the Showa period. The area around the swamp has been developed as “Kuki Shobu Park,” a popular spot for cherry blossoms and lotus, and a place of relaxation where visitors can enjoy nature in all four seasons.
In addition, the Kuki Shobu Industrial Park, developed with soil excavated from the Showa Swamp, is located in the surrounding area, and has been a driving force in the industrial development of Kuki City. This area, which was once farmland, has been transformed into a new landscape where industry and nature coexist along with urbanization.
In this course, you can draw a “C” with GPS art while experiencing the rich natural landscape of Showanuma and the history of industrial development in the area.
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!
