An endoscope includes a prism disposed in a distal end portion of an insertion section and configured to change a direction of a field of view in an upward, downward, leftward, or rightward direction, an operation lever disposed in an operation section, being turnable from a neutral position around a third axis and a fourth axis that are perpendicular to each other, and including a second longitudinal axis, a cylindrical member disposed such that turning around a fourth axis of the lever is transmitted and configured to turn around the fourth axis by inclining the operation lever, a transmission wire configured to transmit turning around a first axis to the prism in response to an inclination operation around the third axis of the lever, and gears configured to transmit turning around a second axis to the prism in response to a turning operation around the fourth axis.
