Tracing the Source of Zenpukuji River: A 3km ‘C’-Shaped GPS Art✨
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 Zempukuji Park in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. Zempukuji Pond is an urban oasis of lush greenery, nature, and history. The pond is the source of the Zempukuji River, which flows eastward through Suginami Ward, and has enriched people’s lives since the Edo period. There are two ponds in the park, Kami-ike and Shimo-ike, where visitors can enjoy boating and strolling along the waterfront using the spring water. In the surrounding area, there are many greenways and old river channels that retain the atmosphere of the Musashino Plateau, and the area is known as a place where nature and history intersect.
Why not enjoy the scenery of Suginami, where culture and nature merge, while giving thanks for the blessings of the Zempukuji River water?
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!
