There is disclosed an optical wireless transmission apparatus in which a pilot light emitting section of a receiving/emitting section sends a pilot light in a wavelength region of 930 nm to 960 nm to a target apparatus, and a light receiving device having a light receiving sensitivity only to the same wavelength region of 930 nm to 960 nm receives light sent from the target apparatus. When the pilot light in the wavelength region of 930 nm to 960 nm is used, the pilot light is not obstructed by sunlight, and therefore optical axis adjustment can be mutually and exactly performed by the use of the pilot light sent from the target apparatus.
