1. A driving assistance device comprising:
a determining part configured to determine a target speed with respect to other vehicle, which is traveling in a movement destination lane that is a merging destination or a lane change destination of a host vehicle, for entering the movement destination lane based on a detection result of the other vehicle; and
a notification controller configured to output a notification sound, which differs between a case in which acceleration is required for the host vehicle and a case in which deceleration is required for the host vehicle, from a speaker in order to perform a speed matching of the host vehicle with respect to the target speed determined by the determining part in an advancing direction of the host vehicle.
