An optical scanning apparatus, including: an optical fiber (11); a holding unit (29) for holding an emission end (11a) of the optical fiber (11) in an oscillatable manner; and a driving unit (28a to 28d) for driving the emission end (11a), in which the holding unit (29) has a holding structure that is different between the vibration direction caused by the driving unit (28a to 28d)/a direction orthogonal to the vibration direction, and other directions.
