To suppress thawing unevenness in an object to be thawed.SOLUTION: There is provided a thawing device for thawing an object (2) to be thawed by making air flow into a space between objects (2) to be thawed which are arranged at an interval in a vertical direction, the thawing device comprises: a casing (11) in which a ventilation flue (30) communicated with a ventilation space (24) between the objects (2) to be thawed is formed; and a fan (12) for transporting air in the ventilation flue (30) and the ventilation space (24). The thawing device alternately executes first operation for flowing the air in the ventilation space (24) in a first direction, and second operation for flowing the air in the ventilation space (24) in a second direction being opposite to the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】被解凍物の解凍ムラを抑制する。【解決手段】上下に間隔を空けて配置された複数の被解凍物（2）の間に空気を流すことによって該被解凍物（2）を解凍する解凍装置であって、被解凍物（2）同士の間の通風空間（24）と連通する通風路（30）が形成されるケーシング（11）と、通風路（30）および通風空間（24）の空気を搬送するファン（12）とを備え、通風空間（24）の空気を第１方向に流す第１動作と、該通風空間（24）の空気を第１方向と逆向きの第２方向に流す第２動作とを交互に実行させる。【選択図】図８
