A guidewire 1 having a core 2, an outer coil 3 around the core, the outer coil having a coil inclined portion 310 and a distal joining section 4A connected with the coil inclined portion are provided on a distal end portion of the guide wire. In the coil inclined portion, each one turn of a coil wire is continuously inclined in a longitudinal direction. Thus, both the passing performance of an occlusion and safety can be remarkably improved especially in a completely occluded lesion.
