Abstract (in English)

Budokuten was a particular building to exercise traditional Japanese martial art and was an important symbol of Samurai spirit in Taiwan during Japanese colonial period. Two of preserving Budokutens in southern Taiwan were repaired. One Budokuten at Chishang is reusing for coffee shop, the other one at Kaohsiung is reusing for martial art exercise by a non-profit organization. The local government thinks that new Chishang Budokuten with modern function is helpful for tourism. However, some people consider it is not appropriate for a traditional Japanese martial art building. Kaohsiung Budokuten has original activity again and seems to keep historical spirit appropriately. Nevertheless, conservative reusing style often lack tourist attraction. Diverse function is the specific issue for cultural heritage in Taiwan where has short history and few historical resource. From these two examples we can discuss an appropriate way to balance the historical spirit and tourist attraction.
