PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lightning resisting tube capable of resisting the discharge in lightning without being damaged to a tube body even if an insulative coating layer covering the circumferential area of the tube body integrally provided with a conductive material is damaged by the discharge in lightning. SOLUTION: This lightning resisting tube is conductively connectable to a conductive facility. The circumferential area of the tube body 2 composed of a conductive material is covered with the insulative coating layer 3, and a conductive material 4 in striated or zonary form integrally placed to the insulative coating layer 3 in the longitudinal direction of the tube is conductively connectable to the conductive facility.
