The individual flow path includes a nozzle communicating with an outside, a first flow path, in the middle of which the nozzle is disposed and which extends in a first direction that is an in-plane direction of a nozzle surface of the nozzle plate in which the nozzle opens, a second flow path coupled to the first flow path and extending in a second direction other than the first direction, a third flow path coupled to the second flow path and extending in the third direction other than the second direction, and a pressure chamber which is disposed in the third flow path and in which a pressure change is induced by the energy generating element. A cross-sectional area of the first flow path is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the second flow path.
