There is provided an autonomous travel system with which a travel route of an autonomous travel device can be easily set. The autonomous travel system includes an autonomous travel device (), a line () for guiding travel that is placed on a travel route traveled by the autonomous travel device (), and a marker () that is placed on the travel route. To the marker (), operation control information related to an operation of the autonomous travel device () is recorded so as to be readable. The autonomous travel device () includes a detection unit (line sensor ()) that detects the line (), an acquisition unit (detection sensor ()) that acquires the operation control information from the marker (), and a control unit () that controls an operation of the autonomous travel device () on the basis of a detection result from the detection unit and the operation control information acquired by the acquisition unit.
