The Tottori plain in the Sanin area of Japan, the target area of this study, was severely damaged by the 1943 Tottori earthquake (M7.2). The severely damaged area was concentrated on the Tottori plain (Architectural Institute of Japan, 1944), whereas there was less damage in the western and southern parts of Tottori City. This concentration of damage is thought to have been caused by the characteristics of the earthquake ground motion affected by the local subsurface structure of the Tottori plain. The subsurface cross section (Tottori Subsurface Institutes, 1991) for which borehole data on the sedimentary layer had been collected was investigated. A contour map (Akagi et al., 1993) of the bedrock of the diluvium and alluvium had already been obtained. In addition, PS logging (exploration of the sedimentary layer) and elastic wave exploration of the mountainous area (e.g., Oyo corporation, 1996) has been done. At several points in the rock layer structure beneath the plain (stratum of Neogene system or Paleogene system), gravity anomal was found by a gravity survey. No detailed density structure however has been determined and PS logging and elastic wave exploration have been done only on limited points. There are two ways to determine subsurface structures. One is to visually explore the geologic profile by means of bore-hole data The other is to make a geophysical exploration to obtain physical parameters such as elastic wave velocity and investigating density. Effective methods for obtaining elastic wave velocity and 2D or 3D bedrock structures are microtremor exploration and a gravity survey. The use of microtremors is divisible into three types: array observation using several seismometers, 3-component observation at a single site (single-site observation), and 3-component observation at soil and rock sites. Array observation records are analyzed by the spatial auto correlation (SPAC) or F-K method. The S-wave velocity structure can be determined from array records by these methods. Single-site observation records can be analyzed by means of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (H/V). Soil and rock site observation records can be analyzed by means of the horizontal- (soil site) - to - horizontal (rock site) spectral ratio. Array observations have been made at many sites in order to
