A variable resistance nonvolatile storage element includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; and a variable resistance layer having a resistance value that reversibly changes based on an electrical signal applied between the electrodes, wherein the variable resistance layer has a structure formed by stacking a first transition metal oxide layer, a second transition metal oxide layer, and a third transition metal oxide layer in this order, the first transition metal oxide layer having a composition expressed as MOx (where M is a transition metal and O is oxygen), the second transition metal oxide layer having a composition expressed as MOy (where x>y), and the third transition metal oxide layer having a composition expressed as MOz (where y>z). |
