In 2013, the Great Sengu (major transfer of the deity to a new shrine building) was done at Izumo Taisha Shrine, for the first time in 60 years. Matsue Branch of the Bank of Japan estimated the tourist consumption in 2013 in Shimane Prefecture to be JPY25.8 billion. As for Matsue-city, the number of visitors to 9 main sightseeing facilities increased by 14%, during Golden Week (Japanese holiday season in early May) compared with previous year. However, we can't rest at ease. It was found that tourist visits are shifting to "matchmaking" places related to the legend of Izumo, from traditional facilities around Matsue Castle. We should not rely solely on attracting young ladies exploiting the recent history boom among them. We need to review the history of the city, and turn the existing resources into working tourist attractions. This study discussed how Matsue has developed as a tourist city in modern period.

There are 9 cities which have established the “Act on Construction as An International Tourism City” during the period of postwar reconstruction. They emphasized that they were especially important cities for national policy. The main purpose of establishing the acts was to gain financial support and free transfer of land for urban planning. In order to establish the act, the constitutional law required a referendum in each city, after passing the National Assembly. As for Matsue, it has enacted the “Act on Construction of Matsue as An International Culture and Tourism City”, having the approval of 76% of the referendum in March 1951. The aims of this paper are to clarify the characteristics of the act and the residents' consciousness towards the enactment.
