A tactile sensation presentation device, comprising:

• a display unit that displays a plurality of images on a display screen;
• an operating portion comprising an operation surface on which a touch operation is performed to select one of the plurality of images displayed on the display unit;
• a vibration presentation unit that presents tactile sensation by vibrating the operation surface according to the touch operation;
• and
• a control unit that extracts at least one candidate image, which has a probability of being selected next after a selected image selected on the operation surface, from the plurality of images displayed on the display screen, predicts a next selected image to be selected next from the candidate image(s) based on a trajectory, on the display screen, of a tracing operation as the touch operation performed on the operation surface, and does not present tactile sensation by the vibration presentation unit even when the trajectory crosses a boundary line acting as a trigger for presenting tactile sensation if it is between the selected image and the next selected image, and presents tactile sensation by the vibration presentation unit when reaching the next selected image.
