To provide a friction roller type transmission restrained from the influence of an edge load and demonstrating stable performance over a long period of time.

An intermediate roller unit or a wedge roller unit for the friction roller type transmission includes a supporting shaft which is a shaft member, and a hollow roller member rotatably supported to the circumferential outside of the shaft member through a rolling bearing. The rolling bearing is a ball bearing and is arranged near each of both axial ends of the roller member.
