Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide an in-vehicle device, an arrival notification system and an arrival notification method which can enable an arrival of the vehicle to be easily recognized by a user. The objective is achieved by causing a notification device with a communication function to generate a notification sound when the vehicle arrives at a delivery target, which can enable an arrival of the vehicle to be easily recognized by the user. I.e., this can cause the notification device to generate the notification sound more easily and it can be recognized by users more easily than an arrival notification method by merely sending an electronic mail.
