PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tire vulcanizer, in which the temperature rise of a heating/pressurizing medium can be accelerated and the heat loss of which can be reduced. SOLUTION: This tire vulcanizer 1 is equipped with a mold 2, into which a green tire 100 is detachably housed, a medium passage 4, which connects with the interior space 100a of the green tire 100 housed in the mold 2 and through which a nitrogen gas as the heating/pressurizing medium for vulcanizing/molding the green tire 100 is circulated, and a heating part 10, which is provided in the medium passage 4 and which controls the temperature of the nitrogen gas circulating through the medium passage 4. The heating part 10 has a heating body 40, within which a nitrogen gas circulating passage is provided, and an induction heating means 42 for heating the heating body 40 by magnetic induction in order to heat the nitrogen gas circulating through the passage.
