🎃 Enjoy Halloween in Shibuya! A Cute “Ghost” GPS Art 👻
When it comes to Halloween in Japan, nowhere is more vibrant than Shibuya. Now, you can experience the spirit of the season in a whole new way with a GPS art course that draws a cute “ghost” right on the map! This 10km route connects Shibuya Station, Shinsen Station, and Daikanyama Station, guiding you through lively streets filled with culture and creativity. By simply walking or running, you’ll leave behind a playful ghost-shaped artwork on your GPS track.
Along the way, you’ll encounter a rich mix of landmarks and attractions. Highlights include the “Former Asakura Residence,” a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, the lush greenery of the “Shibuya Fureai Botanical Center,” the artistic and musical hub “Bunkamura,” and the fashion icon “Shibuya109.” This course blends history, nature, art, and cutting-edge fashion, offering a truly diverse Shibuya experience.
Shibuya’s name originates from its valley-like geography, and in the Edo period, the area was known for samurai residences and quiet temples. Today, Shibuya has transformed into one of the world’s most dynamic trend-setting districts, where tradition and innovation coexist in a uniquely vibrant cityscape.
Perfect for the Halloween season, this course lets you enjoy Shibuya in a fresh way. Whether sightseeing, shopping, or joining the city’s seasonal festivities, adding a GPS art walk will make your visit to Shibuya even more memorable.
