An endoscope includes: a distal end portion provided at a distal end of an insertion portion a front-view observation window for observing an insertion direction of the distal end portion, which is provided facing toward the insertion direction a lateral-view observation window for observing a circumferential direction of the distal end portion, which is formed along the outer circumferential lateral surface and has a lateral observation field of view a light-emitting member having an emission end surface for emitting light in a distal end direction of the distal end portion a groove portion formed on the outer circumferential lateral surface of the distal end portion so as to be longer than the emission end surface of the light-emitting member along the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential lateral surface of the distal end portion and opposed to the emission end surface, on a proximal end side with respect to the lateral-view observation window a plurality of particles for scattering light arranged in the groove portion and a transparent infill filled between the plurality of particles.
