A humidifying unit humidifies a target space, and includes an adsorption member haying moisture adsorption and release areas, a heater that heats the moisture release area, fans to generate an air flow, a housing, an electric component including a heat generating component, and a cooler to air-cool the heat generating component. The housing accommodates the adsorption member, the heater, and the fans. The housing has a humidifying air path through which air taken from outside the housing by the fans is discharged outside the housing via the adsorption member, and a cooling air path in which the to cooler is disposed and air taken from outside the housing by the fans is joined with the humidifying air path. A route of air passing through the humidifying air path from the cooling air path and being discharged outside the housing does not pass through the moisture adsorption area of the adsorption member.
