An information provision device includes a left vibrator disposed at left portion of a vehicle steering wheel and a right vibrator disposed at right portion of the vehicle steering wheel, a control unit vibrating the vibrators under a predetermined pattern with varying intensity, and a pattern setting unit. The pattern setting unit sets a right-turn related pattern when right-turn related information is provided and sets a left-turn related pattern when left-turn related information is provided. The right-turn related pattern includes at least a pattern in which a left vibration state, a right-and-left vibration state, and a right vibration state shift in described order. The left-turn related pattern includes at least a pattern in which the right vibration state, the right-and-left vibration state, and the left vibration state shift in described order.
