A long object guiding device includes pivotally coupled links. Each link includes a pair of link portions facing each other in a width direction. The links are pivotally coupled together in a state in which the links are arranged in series in a serial direction. A first link and a second link, which are adjacent to each other in the serial direction, are pivotal between a first state and a second state. Each link portion has a first engaging portion and first and second restricting members. An opening is formed between the first restricting member and the second restricting member. When the first and second links are located in a third state between the first state and the second state, the first engaging portion of the second link is aligned with the opening of the first link in the width direction.
