A tablet cassette (1) includes: a tablet container (3), which has a tablet outlet (17) formed at a lower part, and is configured to accommodate a large number of tablets; and a rotor (4), which is rotatably provided inside the tablet container (3), and has a tablet guide groove (12) configured to guide tablets accommodated inside the tablet container (3) to the tablet outlet (17). The rotor (4) has a peripheral groove (14) extending in a circumferential direction. A guide member (21) configured to advance into the peripheral groove (14) is provided on a downstream side of the tablet outlet (17) of the tablet container (3) in a rotation direction of the rotor (4). The guide member (21) has an inclined guide surface (21c), which is opposed to the tablets provided in the tablet guide groove (12) in the rotation direction of the rotor (4) and faces the tablet outlet.
