An input apparatus includes a panel (11), a piezoelectric element (13) on the panel (11), an output detection unit (18) that detects output of the piezoelectric element (13) corresponding to pressure on a touch face (11a) of the panel (11) and determines whether the output satisfies a standard for providing a tactile sensation, a piezoelectric element drive unit (15) that drives the piezoelectric element (13), when the output is determined to satisfy the standard, so that the tactile sensation is provided to an object pressing the touch face (11a), and a control unit (17) that controls the start timing of the determination by the output detection unit (18), thereby, after the piezoelectric element (13) is driven, the control unit (17) controls the output detection unit (18) to resume the determination when a predetermined period elapses after detection of the output by the output detection unit (18) enters a resumable state.
