PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage device capable of restricting a thermal stimulation from becoming monotonous.SOLUTION: A vehicle includes a seat 10 and a massage device. The seat 10 includes a flexible part 13 and a front surface part 14. The flexible part 13 includes a foamed material. The massage device includes heaters 22, pressurization parts 21, and a control unit. The heaters 22 are positioned on the back surface side of the flexible part 13. The pressurization parts 21 are positioned on the back surface side of the flexible part 13. The control unit starts the heating of the heaters 22 before starting the increase of pressure force of the pressurization parts 21 and stops the heating of the heaters 22 before starting the increase of the pressure force of the pressurization parts 21. 【課題】温熱刺激が単調になることを抑制できるマッサージ装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両は、シート１０およびマッサージ装置を有する。シート１０は、可撓部１３、および表面部１４を有する。可撓部１３は、発泡材料を含む。マッサージ装置は、ヒータ２２、加圧部２１、および制御部を有する。ヒータ２２は、可撓部１３の背面側に位置する。加圧部２１は、可撓部１３の背面側に位置する。制御部は、加圧部２１の加圧力の増加を開始するよりも前にヒータ２２の加熱を開始し、加圧部２１の加圧力の増加を開始するよりも前にヒータ２２の加熱を停止する。【選択図】図２
