An inspection cable guide mechanism of the present disclosure includes a heat-resistant sheath having flexibility through which a cable is allowed to be inserted and cooling air is allowed to flow toward a tip through a gap between the cable and the heat-resistant sheath, a segment stacked body configured by stacking segments having heat resistance configured to cover the heat-resistant sheath in a centerline direction, and a plurality of wires disposed around the heat-resistant sheath and extending along a centerline, one segment of the segment stacked body is swingable with respect to two segments adjacent to the one segment about swing axes extending in a direction perpendicular to the centerline, the two swing axes becoming centers when the one segment swings with respect to the two segments are perpendicular to each other when viewed in the centerline direction, and one end of each wire is fixed to one of the segments in the segment stacked body.
