An endoscope includes an imaging unit capturing an image of an object an imaging holder holding the imaging unit two systems of driving force transmission mechanisms each including a pair of driving rods having distal ends connected in a diagonal position to each other relative to the imaging holder a driving apparatus disposed on a base end side of the driving rods and driving forward and backward at least one of the driving rods in each of the driving force transmission mechanisms and a cover member extending from a base member of the driving apparatus and covering at least a portion of the imaging unit, the imaging holder, and the driving force transmission mechanisms. The imaging unit rotates around two different axes according to forward and backward movement of the driving rods.
