PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide cold storage material particles having excellent characteristics. SOLUTION: The cold storage material particles of the embodiment include a cold storage material having a maximum specific heat of 0.3 J / cm 3 · K or more at a temperature of 20 K or less, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and the like. A first region containing one metal element selected from the group consisting of strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). And a second region closer to the outer edge of the cold storage material particles than the first region and having a higher concentration of metal elements than the first region.
