PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope for obtaining the bending of an endoscope while keeping the diameter of an endoscope distal end part thin as much as possible, and also to provide an endoscope system having the endoscope, and an endoscope management system.SOLUTION: A microcomputer 254 prerecords a period for the past bending of a bending portion 211 up to the present as a bending period. While the endoscope 200 is used, the microcomputer 254 measures partial pressure from a strain gauge 212 via an A/D terminal. When the partial pressure becomes equal to or more than a prescribed value, the measurement of time is started. When the partial pressure becomes less than the prescribed value, the measurement of time is stopped. The time obtained by the processing is added to the recorded bending period. The processing is repeated to integrate the bending period. The prescribed value is a value determined depending on the endoscope 200, and is determined on the basis of the bending test and experience value, or the like of the endoscope 200, and recorded in the endoscope 200. The prescribed value is recorded in the endoscope 200, so that the prescribed value is set for each endoscope 200.
