There is provided a fastening device in which the tightening load at the engaged portion between the thread of a nut and the thread of a bolt can be made uniform along the length of the threads, the circumferential load distribution at the end of the engagement of the bolt can also be made uniform, and concentration of a stress in the vicinity of the beginning of the engagement can be reduced. The fastening device includes an object to be fastened, having a nut hole; a nut having, at one end, a female screw portion to be fitted in the nut hole and configured such that the center of gravity is located in the nut hole; and a bolt having, at one end, a male screw portion to be screwed into the female screw portion.
