In a method of manufacturing a metal member, a metal material containing aluminum as a main component is anodized in an anodization solution having a pH of 4 to 10 and containing a nonaqueous solvent having a dielectric constant smaller than that of water and capable of dissolving water, thereby forming a nonporous amorphous aluminum oxide passivation film on a surface of the metal member. The method includes a step of controlling the viscosity of the anodization solution. In the step of controlling the viscosity, the viscosity of the anodization solution is lowered by elevating the temperature of the anodization solution above the room temperature or by adding to the anodization solution a substance having a dielectric constant smaller than that of water and a viscosity lower than that of the nonaqueous solvent.
