The story dates back to, 2008, when Yassan wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Natsuki. He had been creating GPS art with Google Earth and street view for over 10 years, and so he decided to incorporate that into his proposal. For Yassan, this form was a huge "Marry Me" spelled out across the map of Japan.
To get this vision complete, Yassan quit his job and planned a journey from the island of Hokkaido to the shores of Kagoshima. After six months of travelling, he covered a distance of over 7,000 km to spell out the huge proposal which also had a heart at the end. For those who are waiting to hear what his girlfriend said - obviously she said 'YES!'
According to South China Morning Post, Natsuki said "it was a big surprise to me. I felt the greatest love in the world."
