International cooperation by walking! GPS art of “C” all over Japan✨
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 in Hibiya Park in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. Hibiya Park was opened in 1903 as Japan’s first Western-style modern urban park. Along with the Western-style garden that retains the scent of the Meiji era and historical buildings such as the Open-Air Concert Hall and the City Hall, the park’s Ungata Pond and Shinji Pond offer tranquility and healing to visitors. Shinji Pond, in particular, takes its name from its shape, which looks like a corruption of the Chinese character for “heart,” and strongly reflects the aesthetics of Meiji-era landscaping.
This GPS art route is a pleasant way to tour the park surrounded by such cultural background. Through this walk at the intersection of history, nature, and a message of international support, let’s draw a “C” with compassion with every step we take!
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!
