It looks like a GPS art walk event called “GOOD GROOVY NISHINOMIYA” will be held in Nishinomiya City.
Here it is↓
It will be held on Saturday, September 9!
What is a GPS Art Walk?
A GPS art walk is an activity where you use a dedicated app’s feature that “colors the route you walked on a map” to draw pictures, letters, and more while walking around town.
Quoted from GPS Runner Naoki Shimizu’s official website
The finished result looks like this.
This Time, It’s a Trash-Picking Art Walk
This time, it looks like they’ll be doing an art walk together with “Naoki Shimizu,” also known as Sensei @ Nishitsu, picking up trash around Nishinomiya City while drawing letters and messages.
By the way, the event name GOOD GROOVY NISHINOMIYA refers to a movement to share Nishinomiya City’s appeal both in Japan and abroad using “GOOD GROOVY NISHINOMIYA” as its slogan. As part of that initiative, they’ve planned a cleanup activity around Nishinomiya’s town and seaside areas. It’s organized by Nishinomiya Hankyu and Furuno Electric.

Finally
This will be the first GPS art walk held within Nishinomiya City in over a year, since “Go to Vote,” which was held across six areas of the city during last year’s Nishinomiya mayoral election. Quite a while back, it used to be called GPS running, and it was pretty intense because you had to run, but now it’s a walk, so you can join in at a relaxed pace.
