C-shaped GPS Art in Daisen Park Overlooking a World Heritage Site✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Daisen Park! 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!
Daisen Park, located in Sakai Ward of Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, is a harmonious blend of history and nature. It sits adjacent to the Nintoku-tennō-ryō Kofun, one of the largest keyhole-shaped burial mounds in the world and a central part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, “Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group.” Within this expansive park, you can create a 3-kilometer “C”-shaped GPS art route.
The park features a traditional Japanese garden, museums, and vast open lawns where visitors can stroll and enjoy the changing seasons. In particular, cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn attract many. Surrounding the park are cultural facilities that highlight Sakai’s traditional industries such as cutlery and bicycles, offering visitors a deeper connection with local heritage.
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!
