Butokuden, Martial arts training hall in Okazaki district, Kyoto, Japan

The Butokuden is a wooden martial arts hall built in 1899 by the Dai Nihon Butoku Kai, designed by Matsumuro Shigemitsu. It stands next to the Heian Shrine in Kyoto's Sakyo ward, near the Imperial Palace. The single-story structure has a large training floor and a traditional Japanese roof.

The present hall was built in 1899 by the Dai Nihon Butokukai as a training and demonstration venue, designed by Matsumuro Shigemitsu. After the organisation was dissolved in 1946, the occupation forces requisitioned it; it later housed the Kyoto City police school and the Kyoto City University of Arts. It was designated a Kyoto tangible cultural property in 1983 and a national Important Cultural Property in 1996 under the name Kyu Butokuden.

The name Butokuden means "Hall of Martial Virtues". The 1899 hall was built by the Dai Nihon Butokukai, the national martial arts association, and served as a training centre for its school; today it belongs to the Kyoto City Martial Arts Centre next to the Heian Shrine.

The hall stands beside the Heian Shrine, near the Imperial Palace, in Kyoto's Sakyo ward. It now operates as part of the Kyoto City Martial Arts Center, so access depends on the center's activities rather than on the building alone. Check with the center before visiting to learn whether the hall can be entered or only viewed from outside.

The hall's name, Butokuden ("Hall of Martial Virtues"), was first used for a training hall for the Kondei warrior corps that Emperor Kammu had built after moving his residence to Heian-kyō in 794. The present 1899 building, designed by Matsumuro Shigemitsu, stands next to the Heian Shrine near the Imperial Palace.
