A shock absorbing structure having a high shock absorption characteristic is provided. The shock absorbing structure (1) includes a solidified portion (2) and a sintered portion (3). The solidified portion (2) is formed by dissolving and solidifying a plurality of inorganic powder particles. The sintered portion (3) is formed by sintering a plurality of the inorganic powder particles. The sintered portion (3) is connected to the solidified portion (2). The shock absorbing structure (1) is a composite structure including the solidified portion (2) and the sintered portion (3) and therefore has a high shock absorption characteristic.
