A hydrogen generating apparatus is capable of stably supplying reforming water, stably generating hydrogen and preventing degradation of the reformer thereof. The hydrogen generating apparatus comprises a reformer 1 which performs a reforming reaction using a material and steam to generate hydrogen-containing gas; a water evaporator 1a which generates the steam supplied to the reformer 1; a first water pathway 5 through which reforming water to be supplied to the water evaporator 1a flows; a pump 6 which supplies the reforming water to the water evaporator 1a; a second water pathway 7 branching from the first water pathway on the downstream side of the pump 6; a first water tank 2 to which the water flowing through the second water pathway 7 flows; a first flow rate controller 8 provided on the second water pathway 7; and a controller 9 which operates the pump 6 and controls the first flow rate controller 8 so that water flows through the second water pathway 7. |
