🎃 Draw a Cute Ghost in Yokkaichi! 11km GPS Art Through the City 👻
Celebrate the Halloween season with a fun and creative GPS art course through the heart of Yokkaichi City in Mie Prefecture!
This 11km route takes you on a charming journey from Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station, passing by Yokkaichi City Hall, the City Cultural Center, Yokkaichi City Museum, Bannko-no-Sato Ceramic Museum, and the peaceful Uno-no-Mori Park. Perfect for walkers and runners alike, the course lets you “draw” an adorable ghost as you explore the city.
Yokkaichi has a fascinating history — once a thriving post town along the historic Tōkaidō Road, it evolved into one of Japan’s leading industrial cities while preserving its traditional charm. Strolling through Kawaramachi, visitors can still feel the nostalgic atmosphere of old merchant streets blending seamlessly with the modern skyline.
As you trace your GPS art, you’ll not only enjoy the fun of creating a Halloween-inspired “ghost,” but also experience the culture, history, and vibrant spirit of Yokkaichi. Along the way, be sure to treat yourself to local specialties like Tonteki (pork steak) or sweet delights from local cafés.
👻 This Halloween, step out into Yokkaichi and create your own spooky-cute masterpiece with GPS art!
