The endoscope includes a distal end body, a treatment tool, an elevator, an ultrasonic transducer, an observation window, and a first illumination window. The treatment tool delivery port is formed in a distal end part body and allows the treatment tool to be delivered therethrough. The elevator controls a delivery direction of the treatment tool delivered from the treatment tool delivery port. The observation window is positioned on the proximate end side of the ultrasonic transducer and has a full viewing angle of θc. The first illumination window is positioned on the proximate end side of the ultrasonic transducer and has a full irradiation range of θL. As Δθ is a difference between a first illumination axis angle and an observation axis angle, Δθ satisfies Δθ <((θL/2)−(θc/2)).
