[Task] To show a view image of a necessary and sufficient range including a blind area in a mode with superior visibility.[Solution] A vehicular display system includes: an imaging unit (2) that captures an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle; an image processing unit (3) that converts the image captured by the imaging unit (2) into a view image that is an image of the surrounding area of the vehicle seen from inside of a cabin; and a display unit (4) that shows the view image generated by the image processing unit (3). The image processing unit (3) can generate, as the view image, a rear-view image and a front-view image, the rear-view image being acquired when an area behind the vehicle is seen from a first virtual viewpoint located in the cabin, and the front-view image being acquired when an area in front of the vehicle is seen from a second virtual viewpoint that is located behind the first virtual viewpoint in the cabin. The display unit (4) shows the rear-view image when the vehicle travels backward, shows the front-view image when the vehicle travels forward, and shows both of the view images at substantially the same angle of view.
