Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a Brillouin optical sensing device and an optical sensing method capable of reducing introduction costs. The Brillouin optical sensing device according to the present invention includes: a sensing fiber 90 in which a plurality of optical fibers having Brillouin frequency shift characteristics different from each other are arranged in parallel; an optical measuring instrument 11 that launches an optical pulse into at least two of the optical fibers of the sensing fiber 90 to generate Brillouin scattering lights and measures a beat frequency of a beat signal between the Brillouin scattering lights at any position of the sensing fiber 90; and an arithmetic processing unit 12 that acquires a physical quantity of the sensing fiber 90 at said any position based on the beat frequency acquired by the optical measuring instrument 11.
