Drawing a “C” of GPS Art Alongside the Stone Walls of Marugame Castle✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Marugame Castle! 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!
Located in Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture, Marugame Castle is known for its stunning stone walls, which are considered the tallest in Japan. Originally constructed during the Keicho era in the early Edo period, the castle features a three-tiered keep and sits on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Today, the castle grounds are maintained as a public park and become particularly lively during cherry blossom season, attracting many visitors.
Around the castle grounds, you can create a 5km-long “C” shaped GPS art route. This path allows participants to walk along the historic stone walls while immersing themselves in the blend of nature and history. As you ascend, panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea come into sight, enriching the experience with every step.
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!
