The purpose of this study was to clarify the evaluation method of the historical value of the historic environments related to Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi. In this study, first, historic environments related to Japanese Americans registered in the National Register of Historic Places and the Hawaiʻi Register of Historic Places have been extracted. After that, based on a detailed analysis of the descriptions of the Registration Forms prepared for nominating these historic environments, evaluation perspectives and evaluation axes have been categorized. In addition, the characteristics of the evaluation methods were clarified based on the analysis of the interrelationship of each type. I believe that the results of this research will contribute to the promotion of historic preservation not only for Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi but also for other ethnic groups.
