A housing body of a visible light communication terminal houses a light receiving unit configured to receive a visible light communication signal to convert the received visible signal to an electrical signal, an output unit configured to output information obtained from the visible light communication signal, and a power supply unit configured to supply power to the light receiving unit and the output unit. An ear hooking part is curved in an arc-like shape and is attached at one end thereof to the housing body, and is configured to fit the housing body to an auricle by being hooked onto the auricle and together with the housing body sandwiching the auricle therebetween. The light receiving unit is located on a portion of the housing body on an upper side thereof in a vertical direction in a state where the housing body is fitted to the auricle.
