• REM other than Ce and La:
• 0% to 0.0100% and
• a balance of Fe and impurities,
• a steel microstructure at a range of ⅛ thickness to ⅜ thickness centered about a position of ¼ thickness from a surface of the base steel sheet contains, by area %,
• ferrite:
• 0% to 50%,
• retained austenite:
• 0% to 30%,
• tempered martensite:
• 5% or more,
• fresh martensite:
• 0% to 10%, and
• pearlite and cementite in total:
• 0% to 5%,
• when there are remaining structures, the remaining structures consist of bainite,
• when defining a region having a hardness of 90% or less of the hardness at a position of ¼ thickness to the base steel sheet side from an interface of the base steel sheet and the hot dip galvanized layer as a “soft layer”, there is a soft layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more at the base steel sheet side from the interface,
• the soft layer contains tempered martensite, and
• an increase rate in a thickness direction of an area % of tempered martensite from the interface to the inside of the base steel sheet inside the soft layer is 5.0%/μm or less.
