1. A method of manufacturing a fiber structure, comprising:
an accumulation step of accumulating a material containing a resin and a fiber in air to generate a fiber web;
a transport step of transporting the generated fiber web in a transport direction; and
a heating and pressurizing step of pressurizing the transported fiber web with a heated flat plate to melt the resin, wherein
a fiber structure having a first region where pressurization by a heating and pressurizing step is performed a predetermined number of times and a second region where the pressurization is performed more than the predetermined number of times is formed by alternately repeating transport at a predetermined pitch shorter than a length of the flat plate in the transport direction by a transport step and the pressurization.
