An endoscope whose bending section is moved with supply or discharge of fluid comprises: a fluid-pressure actuator that is included as a bending section in an insertion unit and has fluid chambers associated with a plurality of bending directions; and fluid supply tubes over which fluid is supplied from a fluid pressure source to the respective fluid chambers of the fluid-pressure actuator or fluid supplied to the respective fluid chambers is discharged. The fluid-pressure actuator comprises: a soft multi-lumen tube that has a center through hole and a plurality of penetrating holes which surrounds the center through hole and which realizes the fluid chambers; an internal tubular member that is inserted in the center through hole; and an external tubular member that is put on the periphery of the multi-lumen tube with a gap, which allows each fluid chamber to axially stretch and radially slightly expand during supply of fluid to the fluid chamber and thus eases bending, created between them.
