The endoscope includes: a rotating shaft in a distal end portion body of an insertion portion； an elevator which is coupled with one end of the rotating shaft； an elevator erecting lever which is coupled with the other end； an operating wire which rotates the rotating shaft through the elevator erecting lever to erect the elevator； a partition wall including a holding hole to support the rotating shaft； and a seal member disposed between the holding hole and the rotating shaft. The configuration of the rotating shaft and a positional relation between the rotating shaft and the seal member are improved so as to reduce time and labor taken for cleaning processing of the endoscope.
