1. A shift device, comprising:
a shift body that has a shift position which is altered as a result of the shift body being rotated towards a circumferential direction side;
a rotating portion that is rotated as a result of the shift body being rotated; and
a detection mechanism that is provided with a placement portion which is disposed at an outer side in a rotation radial direction of the rotating portion, the shift position of the shift body being detected as a result of the placement portion detecting a relative position with respect to the rotating portion,
wherein as a result of the shift body being displaced towards an axial direction side thereof and the relative position of the rotating portion with respect to the placement portion being altered between one side of the placement portion and another side of the placement portion, the shift position of the shift body is altered,
wherein the relative position is a difference in a radial direction relative to the axis of the rotating portion, and
wherein an axial center point of the rotating portion is altered between one axial side of the placement portion and another axial side of the placement portion.
