To provide a sterilizer capable of effectively sterilizing a grip rod of a handrail without requiring manual work, and a handrail equipped with the sterilizer.SOLUTION: A sterilizer 2 includes a moving portion that moves in the length direction of the grip rod 10, an ultraviolet irradiator 23 that emits ultraviolet rays, and a housing 20 that internally supports the moving portion and the ultraviolet irradiator 23. The surface of the grip rod 10 is sterilized by irradiating the surface of the grip rod 10 with ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiator 23. Since the moving portion and the ultraviolet irradiator 23 are separately arranged in the moving direction of the moving portion, deterioration of the moving portion due to ultraviolet rays is reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】手摺りの把持棒を、人手を要さず、効果的に除菌することができる除菌装置、及び該除菌装置を装備した手摺りを提供する。【解決手段】除菌装置２は把持棒１０の長さ方向に移動する移動部と、紫外線を発光する紫外線照射器２３と、移動部と紫外線照射器２３を内部に支持するハウジング２０とを備える。紫外線照射器２３から把持棒１０の表面に紫外線を照射して把持棒１０の表面を除菌する。移動部と紫外線照射器２３とは移動部の移動方向に離隔して配されているので、紫外線による移動部の劣化が低減される。【選択図】図２
