To provide a hot water generation system having high use efficiency of waste heat of a fuel cell and enabling high temperature hot water to be used immediately after a vehicle mounted with the fuel cell reaches a destination.SOLUTION: A hot water generation system 1 mounted to a vehicle V includes: a fuel cell 10; a water storage tank 30; a heat exchange section 20 exchanging heat between waste heat of the fuel cell during traveling of the vehicle and water stored in the water storage tank; a destination input section 43 for inputting a destination; a determination section 45 determining whether or not the vehicle comes closer to the destination; a heating section 31 heating water stored in the water storage tank; and a heating control section 61 controlling the heating section. When a determination that the vehicle comes closer to the destination is made, the heating control section heats the water that is stored in the water storage tank and has undergone heat exchange.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】燃料電池の排熱の利用効率が高く、燃料電池を搭載した車両が目的地に到着後、直ちに高温の温水を利用することができる温水生成システムを提供する。【解決手段】車両Ｖに搭載される温水生成システム１であって、燃料電池１０と、貯水タンク３０と、前記車両が走行中の前記燃料電池の排熱と前記貯水タンクに貯水された水との熱交換を行う熱交換部２０と、目的地を入力する目的地入力部４３と、前記車両が前記目的地に近づいたか否かを判定する判定部４５と、前記貯水タンクに貯水された水を加熱する加熱部３１と、前記加熱部を制御する加熱制御部６１と、を備え、前記加熱制御部は、前記車両が前記目的地に近づいたと判定された場合、前記貯水タンクに貯水された、前記熱交換後の水を加熱する。【選択図】図１
