A Multifunctional Complex Combining an Art Museum and a Theater
This impressive cultural hub in western Shimane Prefecture consists of two main facilities: the Shimane Prefectural Iwami Art Museum and the Shimane Prefectural Iwami Arts Theater.
It is a rare example in Japan of a complex that seamlessly integrates both an art museum and a performing arts venue under one roof.
The striking building is adorned with approximately 280,000 locally-produced Sekishū roof tiles, which cover both its walls and roof, creating a powerful architectural presence. The name "Grand Toit", meaning “big roof” in French, reflects the image of people gathering under the large, iconic red-tiled roof and has become a beloved nickname for the center.
The complex is arranged around a spacious central courtyard, and includes not only the museum and large/small performance halls, but also multipurpose galleries, a restaurant, and a museum shop. The halls are available for rental, making the facility a dynamic venue for everything from art exhibitions to concerts and stage performances.

A mysterious sight reminiscent of a fantasy world It is a scenic spot that is also designated as a natural monument in the country. After passing through a cave from the Kokufu Bathing Beach, a vast, flat rocky area like the Tokyo Dome called "Sengami Shiki" is in front of you.
If you look in the direction of Shiroyama from the town of Shinzuwano, where the Senbon Torii of Akumaki is beautiful, you can see the approach of Shiroyama, where the Torii of Akumaki are tightly lined with Torii. After climbing the tunnel of about 1,000 Torii about 300m, you can see the approach to the road.
