PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging module capable of meeting a demand for miniaturization and an endoscope provided with the imaging module. An image pickup module 3 includes an image pickup element 4 and a mounting board 6 on which the image pickup element 4 is mounted together with a plurality of passive components 5. The mounting board 6 is located on the opposite side of the first surface 60 on which the image sensor 4 is surface-mounted and the first surface 60, and has a step between the second surface 61 on which the passive component 5 is mounted and the second surface 61. It includes a third surface 62 on which the passive component 5 is mounted, and a columnar cable connection block 63 that rises from the second surface 61 and the third surface 62 and to which the cable 17 is connected.
