PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope system, capable of simultaneously performing endoscopic observation and treatment with other treatment devices by operation by one hand, and coping with multiple treatment modes. SOLUTION: The endoscope system 1 includes a grip part 2 which can be held and operated by one hand, a pipe part 3 connected to a distal end part of the grip part 2, and an image guide 5 provided from a distal end 3a of the pipe part 3 through the inside of the pipe part 3 and the inside of the grip part 2 to connect to an imaging device 4. On the grip part 2, an installation part 7 for a treatment device is formed, on which the treatment device 6 can be detachably installed, and a holding means 8 is provided to hold the treatment device 6 where it can be grasped and operated with the grip part 2 by one hand. On the pipe part 3, a channel 3d for a treatment means is formed inside, so that the treatment means 61 of the treatment device 6 installed on the installation part 7 is extended to the distal end of the pipe part 3 to operate to an affected part.
