MASUDA
  • HISTORY
  • PERFORMANCE / ARTS
  • WILDLIFE / NATURE

Masuda looks out from the west coast of Shimane Prefecture onto the Sea of Japan. Beyond the town centre, the land rises to a range of hills, valleys and gorges, gushing streams and tranquil paddy fields.
Within the town, a vibrant culture of art and traditional theatre thrive in both its stylish arts centre, and the more informal venues that house the area’s renowned Iwami Kagura performances.
One of the 100 hidden towns in Japan chosen for this publication.
