Designed by architect César Pelli, the building was completed in November 2000 as part of Kurayoshi Park Square. The Tottori Prefectural Cultural Promotion Foundation has operated it since. After the 2016 Central Tottori earthquake damaged part of the ceiling and forced closure, it fully reopened on 30 April 2017. Since 1 April 2024, Ace Pack, a company with a factory in Kurayoshi, holds the naming rights, and the hall is nicknamed Ace Pack Mirai Chūshin.
The venue is run by the Tottori Prefectural Foundation for Cultural Promotion, and its programme goes beyond concerts: it has hosted performances by the Takarazuka Revue and the Shiki Theatre Company. The name comes from Kurayoshi Mirai Chūshin, literally Kurayoshi Future Centre, and since April 2024 the naming rights belong to Ace Pack, a company with a factory in Kurayoshi, so the hall is also known as Ace Pack Mirai Chūshin.
