An endoscope of the present invention includes a cover member, a groove formed on an outer circumferential face of the cover member, holes which are located at least two places in a circumferential direction of the groove and communicate with the interior of the cover member, a bending portion and a loop-shaped puller wire wound around the groove so as to enter the groove from within the cover member through the hole at one end in the cover member and enter the cover member from the groove through the hole at the other end.
