PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a route guidance system capable of intelligibly executing route guidance even for a person who is poor at understanding a map. SOLUTION: The route guidance system 100 includes a communication robot 10 and a display device 12. For example, when the person A existing near the display device 12 is detected based on a detection result of a floor sensor 18, the robot 10 asks the person whether or not the route guidance is required. If the route guidance is required, the robot 10 further asks the person the destination. When destination information is acquired from the robot 10, a computer 14 sequentially displays a path from the present location to the destination by every key point (path point) on the display device 12. In addition, the computer 14 properly transmits control commands to the robot 10 and transmits (explains) the direction in which the person should go by utterance and gestures by every key point. As a result, since the path from the present position to the destination is displayed and the path on which the person should go is explained to the person by the gestures, the path to the destination is intelligibly explained without transfer of the robot to the destination with the person.
