Abstract
Garnishes of a steering wheel are disposed from an upper side to a lower side of a rim section with respect to spoke sections at a vehicle left side and a vehicle right side. Thus, the garnishes are disposed at connection regions of the rim section with the spoke sections. Therefore, ranges of sensing by the garnishes of hands of a vehicle occupant touching the garnishes are broadened as far as the connection regions of the rim section with the spoke sections.
