The objective of the present invention is to provide a tactile sensation control system and a tactile sensation control method with which a user can perform easy-to-use operations without requiring the user to focus his/her line of sight on a display screen when performing the operation. This tactile sensation control system controls the user's tactile sensation when an operation is performed with respect to an operation surface of a touch panel or a touch pad. This system is equipped with: an operation region information acquisition unit that acquires, as operation region information, information pertaining to an operation region on the operation surface where the user performs an operation; an event occurrence detection unit that detects the occurrence of a specific event that has been set in advance as an event that defines an operation-enabled state or an operation-disabled state; and a tactical sensation control unit that, on the basis of the operation region information acquired by the operation region information acquisition unit and the specific event detected by the event occurrence detection unit, performs a control such that the tactile sensation differs for an operation region in the operation-enabled state and an operation region in the operation-disabled state.
