A viewing control device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a changing portion that, interlockingly with turning of a vehicle, changes a viewing range of a periphery of the vehicle with respect to a vehicle occupant;
- and
- a control section that controls the changing portion so as to return the viewing range to an original viewing range by a time of an end of turning, wherein
- the control section respectively estimates a first time period, which is until the viewing range is returned from a current viewing range to the original viewing range, and a second time period, which is from a current point in time until turning ends, and controls the changing portion so as to start returning of the viewing range to the original viewing range at a time when the first time period becomes greater than or equal to the second time period.
