The gateway to western Shimane, an airport where you are wrapped in rich nature and warm hospitality the moment you land. The "Manyo Park" is developed surrounding the runway, offering a rare location where you can stroll while watching planes take off and land up close. On weekends, events like running or cycling on the runway are sometimes held, providing enjoyment beyond just being a transportation hub. With shops featuring fresh local seafood and specialties, and a counter with tourist information for the Iwami region, it is a very comfortable and convenient starting point for traveling around the Iwami and Hagi areas.

A mystical shrine located on a small island off the coast of Masuda City, often called "Japan's Mont Saint-Michel."

The sight of a red torii gate standing on a rocky outcrop jutting into the sea is beautiful, and the fusion of the rough Sea of Japan with a sacred atmosphere is spectacular.
