A magnetic storage device includes a magnetoresistive element. A pair of side faces of the magnetoresistive element are at least partially opposed to end faces of a pair of open ends of a magnetic yoke. Moreover, the pair of side faces of the magnetoresistive element and the end faces of the pair of open ends of the magnetic yoke have predetermined angles, respectively. Thus, the magnetic storage device can reduce writing current while the magnetic storage device has a small and simple structure.
