A view adjustment device of a vehicle which adjusts a view recognized by a driver through a windshield glass comprises a visual-stimulation indicating mechanism capable of indicating shielding portions in a view area of the diver and a controller to control an indication manner of the visual-stimulation indicator. The controller comprises a traveling-direction determination portion to determine a traveling direction of the vehicle, a traveling-speed determination portion to determine a traveling speed of the vehicle, and an indication control portion to control the visual-stimulation indicating mechanism. The indication control portion is configured such that when it is determined that the vehicle travels in a straight direction, the high-speed shielding portion is indicated at a position located relatively on a leftward side, in a vehicle width direction, compared to the low-speed shielding portion or the middle-speed shielding portion.
