In a bending tube including: multiple first slots for bending provided at set intervals, respectively, along a direction of a direction of a longitudinal axis O of a cylindrical bending tube body, the multiple first slots for bending extending in a circumferential direction of the bending tube body slots for forming wire guide (a first slot for bending) paired and provided on arrangement of the multiple first slots for bending, the slots for forming wire guide extending in the circumferential direction of the bending tube body and a wire guide formed by deforming a circumferential part of the bending tube body between the paired slots for forming wire guide, in an inner diameter direction a width of a slot for bending adjacent to the wire guide is set relatively narrower than a width of other slots for bending.
