An endoscope incorporates an objective optical system and an image sensor at its distal end and has light guides around the objective optical system. In this case, when a direction parallel to the major side of an imaging region of the image sensor is taken as a lateral direction, exit end faces of the light guides are arranged only in the lateral direction of the objective optical system, a top cover is placed opposite to the exit end faces, and an illumination light diffusing portion is provided at the position of the top cover opposite to the exit end faces. Whereby, the endoscope in which the small-diameter design of the distal end is attained and the loss of emergent light is minimized can be provided.
