Disclosed is a time information acquiring apparatus wherein: a second data acquiring section acquires a second data by measuring pulse signals of a frame of a time code signal during a period of time including a period of time a first data acquiring section acquires a first data which is stored in a first data storing section; and when a time data, which is generated by a decoder based on information on a starting point of the frame detected by a detecting section and the second data stored in a second data storing section, is determined as inconsistent by a consistency determining section, a controller makes the detecting section re-detect the starting point of the frame, and makes the decoder re-generate the time data based on a result of the re-detection of the starting point of the frame and the second data stored in the second data storing section.
