The frame includes a guide portion to mount the developer accommodating device on a developing unit along a mounting direction crossing the longitudinal direction, a first portion including first and second chambers arranged in parallel in a first direction crossing the longitudinal direction, and a second portion communicating with the first and second chambers with respect to the longitudinal direction and a volume thereof is larger than that of the first portion. The first chamber, in which the opening portion is formed, does not directly communicate with the second chamber with respect to the first direction but communicates with the second chamber via the second portion. As seen in the longitudinal direction, a cross sectional area of the second chamber is equal to or larger than that of the first chamber.
