In a vehicular visual assistance system, an image picked up by an image pickup device capable of picking up an image of a fore-and-aft region sideward of a vehicle is processed by an image processing device, and displayed on a display monitor. The image pickup device is mounted on a lower part of a door mirror housing, and is capable of picking up an image of a region that is continuous in the fore-and-aft direction while simultaneously including part of a front region directly viewed by a vehicle driver on a driver's seat and part of a rear region indirectly viewed by the vehicle driver via a door mirror. The image processing device displays, on the display monitor, a region for which at least front and rear boundaries thereof overlap the rear edge of the directly viewed region and the front edge of the indirectly viewed region, respectively. Thus, it is possible to avoid a blind spot from occurring between the direct and indirect views and the image based on the picked up image, thus giving an excellent visibility.
