A touch switch includes an operation unit having a planar shape, a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit that allows detection of an approach of a human body to the operation unit by a change in capacitance, and a determination unit that determines that the operation unit has been operated. In the second sensor unit, a length in a direction in which the operation unit extends is longer than a length of the first sensor unit, and the determination unit determines that the operation unit has been operated when a time difference between a first time point at which the capacitance of the first sensor unit has changed and a second time point at which the capacitance of the second sensor unit has changed is equal to or longer than a predetermined determination time.
