An bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video capturing unit configured to capture a surrounding video of a vehicle, an obstacle information obtaining unit configured to obtain obstacle information including a distance to the obstacle, a video generating unit configured to generate an bird's-eye view video by performing viewpoint conversion with respect to the surrounding video so that, when the distance to the detected obstacle is equal to or longer than a threshold value, generate the bird's-eye view video in which a vehicle icon is displayed at the center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video and the obstacle information is superimposed thereon, and when the distance is shorter than the threshold value, generate the bird's-eye view video in which the obstacle information is superimposed on the center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video, and a display controller configured to display the bird's-eye view video in a display.
