While you and many of your readers are probably already familiar with this place, I live relatively close to the giant dam that appears in Shingeki no Kyojin. By downloading an app, it's possible to recreate some of the scenes from the anime using AR. Located in Hita, Oita Prefecture down in Kyushu, it's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth a visit. More sites in Japan should try using AR to attract anime tourism.

I didn't know about this! Is there a specific Japanese AR app for recreating the Attack on Titan scene, or are people using generic third-party AR apps?

While I am not certain about who is behind the development of this app, try checking out this site: https://shingeki-hita.com/guidance/ar/001.html
