Abstract
In recent years, the use of cultural properties became more popular in Japan, though there are few discussions on the relationship between the value of cultural properties and their use. The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not it is possible to find the roles and meanings of cultural heritage in the utilization projects being carried out today and to find out how to construct utilization projects that contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage. The target of the study is the guidance facility at the World Heritage Kumano Pilgrimage Route Iseji. As a result, projects were intended to convey information about people, things, cultural heritage and art in the heritage area by using objects and actions that are very different from those of the pilgrims in the past, mainly in the guidance facility. In other words, they failed to experience the value of cultural heritage. If they design the utilization projects to realize the value of cultural heritage through experience, it is necessary to devise a method that is as close as possible to the information, space, objects, and actions of early modern pilgrims. Also, the experience will make the whole picture of the heritage visible and contribute to the preservation of the heritage.
