PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature sensing element capable of sensing temperature change in temperatures of at least two points, in the temperature sensing element sensing a temperature of an object by contacting the object.SOLUTION: A temperature sensing element senses a temperature of an object by contacting the object, and includes a first member capable of contacting the object and a second member having a higher sensing temperature than that of the first member. In the temperature sensing element, the area of overlapping surfaces on which the first member and the second member are overlapped becomes smaller than the area of a contact surface on which the first member contacts with the object.
