1. An audio output device, which is driven by power supplied from an external power source, comprising:
a lantern part that extends along a first axis and that is configured to irradiate light in a direction crossing the first axis;
an antenna part configured to receive radio broadcasting waves, the antenna part having a first end and a second end that are respectively connected to a first side and a second side relative to a central part of the lantern part in a first direction parallel to the first axis, the antenna part having a portion being disposed between the first end and the second end, extending in the first direction and spaced apart from the lantern part in a direction orthogonal to the first axis;
an audio output part configured to output sound; and
a control part configured to control light irradiation from the lantern part and audio output from the audio output part, the control part being configured to cause the audio output part to output sound corresponding to a radio broadcasting wave received by the antenna part.
