AR Isawa Castle ~Sakanoue No Tamurmaro & Aterui~ is designed for use at the Isawa Castle Site in Oshu City, featuring AR and VR recreations of the castle walls and gates in their prime. Isawa Castle was constructed in the early ninth century by Sakanoue No Tamuramaro, Commander-in-Chief Against the Barbarians (Sei-i Taishogun), as headquarters for the imperial court's subjugation of the Tohoku region; the homeland of ancient folk hero Aterui.
