A distance measuring device is configured to emit a transmitted wave and detect a reflected wave from an object irradiated with the transmitted wave to measure a distance to the object. At least one of the transmitted wave and the reflected wave is transmitted through a transmission window. A heater is configured to heat the transmission window from an inside of the distance measuring device. A control unit is configured to control energization of the heater according to an inside air temperature which is an air temperature inside the distance measuring device and an outside air temperature which is an air temperature outside the distance measuring device.
