an elevator that is provided in a distal end portion of the insertion part;
a distal end cap that is mounted on the distal end portion and has an inner space communicating with a cap opening;
an elevating operation wire of which a distal end side is connected to the elevator and which is pushed and pulled in response to operation of the operation member to operate the elevator;
