Abstract: A parking assistance device includes a processor. The processor generates a map recording the position of an obstacle around a vehicle and the positions of parking areas available for the vehicle to park. The processor determines a parking area to park the vehicle, out of the parking areas recorded on the map, based on the generated map and the obtained position information. The processor performs a simulation on the map where the vehicle is turned until the vehicle has approximately the same orientation as the parking area and detects a contact position at which the vehicle comes into contact with the obstacle recorded on the map. The processor determines a movement direction in which the vehicle is to be moved from a position indicated by the position information, based on the contact position.
