We evaluate the measurement accuracy of the branching ratio of $h \to τ^+ τ^-$ at $\sqrt{s} = 250$ GeV and 500 GeV at the ILC with the ILD detector simulation. For the $\sqrt{s} = 250$ GeV, we assume the Higgs mass of $M_h = 120$ GeV, branching ratio of $\mathrm{Br}(h \to τ^+ τ^-) = 8.0 \ %$, beam polarization of $P(e^-, e^+) = (-0.8, +0.3)$, and integrated luminosity of $\int L \ dt = 250 \ \mathrm{fb ^{-1}}$. The Higgs-strahlung process $e^+ e^- \to Zh$ with $Z \to e^+ e^-$, $Z \to μ^+ μ^-$, $Z \to q\bar{q}$ mode are analyzed. The measurement accuracy is calculated to be $Δ(σ\cdot \mathrm{Br}) / (σ\cdot \mathrm{Br}) = 3.5 \ %$. The scaled result to $M_h = 125$ GeV is estimated to be $4.2 \ %$. For the $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV, we assume the Higgs mass of $M_h = 125$ GeV, branching ratio of $\mathrm{Br}(h \to τ^+ τ^-) = 6.32 \ %$, beam polarization of $P(e^-, e^+) = (-0.8, +0.3)$, and integrated luminosity of $\int L \ dt = 500 \ \mathrm{fb ^{-1}}$. The Higgs-strahlung process $e^+ e^- \to Zh$ with $Z \to q\bar{q}$ mode and $WW$-fusion process $e^+ e^- \to ν_e \bar{ν_e} h$ are analyzed. The measurement accuracy is calculated to be $Δ(σ\cdot \mathrm{Br}) / (σ\cdot \mathrm{Br}) = 5.7 \ %$ for Higgs-strahlung with $Z \to q\bar{q}$ and $7.5 \ %$ for $WW$-fusion.
