An onboard operation apparatus includes an operation panel having an operation face touch-operated on by a fingertip of a user, an output part outputting an operation signal that corresponds to an operation element touch-operated, a vibration instrument causing the user to feel vibration, a position sensor detecting the touch position by a fingertip, and a vibration control part controlling the actuation of the vibration instrument. The onboard operation apparatus further includes a trace calculation part calculating the movement trace of a touch position, and a prediction part predicting whether the touch position reaches a second operation element within a predetermined time. The vibration control part has an entering vibration control part and a holding control part.
