An endoscope operation support system includes: an image display unit which, transmits external scenery and allows the user to visually recognize the external scenery, and also displays a virtual image as superimposed on the external scenery and allows the user to visually recognize the virtual image; a control unit which controls the image display unit; an endoscope unit having an image pickup unit at a distal end part inserted in an image pickup target part of an object, the image pickup unit picking up an image inside the image pickup target part; and a position detection unit which detects a position of the distal end part. The control unit causes the image display unit to display a position display image including a pointer image indicating the position of the distal end part detected by the position detection unit, as the virtual image superimposed on the object in the external scenery.
