The present invention provides a wiper washer apparatus that can quickly recover visibility in an imaging area of an imaging device after spraying a washer liquid.The wiper washer apparatus includes: a wiper arm that reciprocates the blade so as to wipe a predetermined wiping area; a washer liquid spray unit that sprays the washer liquid onto the wiping area; a wiper arm drive unit that drives the wiper arm in a mode selected from modes including at least a low speed mode and a high speed mode; and a spray operation input unit through which a user inputs a command for spraying the washer liquid. The washer liquid spray unit begins to spray the washer liquid in response to the start of an operation of the spray operation input unit by the user and stops spraying the washer liquid in response to the end of the operation of the spray operation input unit by the user. The wiper arm drive unit begins to drive the wiper arm in response to the start of the operation of the spray operation input unit by the user and stops driving the wiper arm after spraying the washer liquid from the washer liquid spray unit and after driving the wiper arm in at least one of reciprocating strokes between a first return position and a second return position in the high speed mode.
