Izumo Airport will be your choice in terms of proximity. If you plan to visit tour sites such as Itsukushimajinjya Shrine, a world heritage site, or the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima Prefecture, Hiroshima Airport is the recommended point of entry. Note that depending on which airport you use, the number of flights and prices vary significantly. In some cases, it will be more economical to use Hiroshima Airport or Yonago Airport than to use Izumo Airport depending on the season and the domestic route you choose.
