Abstract
Provided is a master cylinder unit including a communication path that causes a master cylinder and a stroke simulator to communicate with each other. The stroke simulator includes a bottomed tube-shaped simulator piston and a simulator cylinder in which a simulator piston slides. The simulator piston is such that a bottom portion of the simulator cylinder and an opening portion of the simulator piston face each other. The communication path is open over an outer circumferential portion and an inner circumferential portion of the opening portion of the simulator piston, is connected to the bottom portion of the simulator cylinder, and is provided such that the communication path extends upward in a vertical direction from the bottom portion of the simulator cylinder as approaching to a pressure chamber.
