PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a humidity control device for controlling the humidity of air, shortening a length of time from starting until the relative humidity of room air reaches a target value. SOLUTION: In the humidity control device, starting operation is performed at starting, and when a value detected by a humidity sensor 2 reaches a target value during starting operation, the starting operation is changed over into normal operation. During the starting operation when the temperature of second air to be fed from a regenerating heat exchanger 102 to adsorbing elements 81, 82 on the regeneration side is higher than during the normal operation, water desorbing from an adsorbing agent is increased more than during the normal operation. During the starting operation, the humidified amount of the second air in the adsorbing elements 81, 82 on the regeneration side is therefore increased more than during the normal operation. Along therewith, the amount of water remaining in the adsorbing elements 81, 82 on the regeneration side is reduced at the time of finishing regenerating operation, and so the dehumidified amount from first air in the adsorbing elements 81, 82 on the adsorption side is increased during the starting operation.
