[Problem] Provided is a catheter of which a tip can be downsized with a decrease of torquability being reduced and in which a joining strength between the tip and a catheter shaft can be further enhanced.[Solution] A catheter 1 includes a catheter shaft 20 and a tip 30 made of a resin. The catheter shaft 20 has a coil body 22 having a first portion 22a with a first inner diameter, a tapered portion disposed at a distal end of the first portion 22a having a diameter decreasing from the first inner diameter to a second inner diameter and arranged in the inside of the tip 30； an inner layer 24 covering an inner peripheral surface of the first portion 22a； and an outer layer 28 covering an outer peripheral surface of the first portion 22a. The tip 30 has an outer-layer joining region 30a joined to a distal end 28a of the outer layer 28, and an inner-layer joining region 30b joined to a distal end 24a of the inner layer 24. A gap 50 is disposed between adjacent element wires at the tapered portion 22b, and the outer-layer joining region 30a is integrated with the inner-layer joining region 30b through the gap 50.
