What is claimed is: 1. A lens driving device comprising: a multilayer piezoelectric element, having internal electrodes laminated having a piezoelectric body layer in-between and a pair of external electrodes formed on side surfaces extending along laminating direction and electrically connected to the internal electrodes, a wiring part connected to the external electrodes, a first resin part, joining one end surface in the laminating direction of the multilayer piezoelectric element and a mounting surface of a weight member placed to face the one end surface, a second resin part, joining the other end surface in the laminating direction of the multilayer piezoelectric element and a mounting surface of a shaft member placed to face the other end surface, a moving member, which s movable with respect to the shaft member and engaged to the shaft member, wherein the first resin part is continuous from the one end surface and the mounting surface of the weight member to a front edge part of the wiring part fixed to the external electrodes; and the first resin part covers the front edge part of the wiring part. 2. A lens driving device comprising: a multilayer piezoelectric element, having internal electrodes laminated having a piezoelectric body layer in-between and a pair of external electrodes formed on side surfaces extending along laminating direction and electrically connected to the internal electrodes, a wiring part connected to the external electrodes, a first resin part, joining one end surface in the laminating direction of the multilayer piezoelectric element and a mounting surface of a weight member placed to face the one end surface, a second resin part, joining the other end surface in the laminating direction of the multilayer piezoelectric element and a mounting surface of a shaft member placed to face the other end surface, a moving member, which is movable with respect to the shaft member and engaged to the shaft member, wherein the second resin part is continuous from the other end surface and the mounting surface of the shaft member to a front edge part of the wiring part fixed to the external electrodes; and the second resin part covers the front edge part of he wiring part. 3. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first and the second resin parts are adhesive agent curing parts. 4. The lens driving device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the first and the second resin parts are adhesive agent curing parts. 5. A unit of piezoelectric element comprising: a multilayer piezoelectric element, having internal electrodes laminated having a piezoelectric body layer in-between a pair of external electrodes formed on side surfaces extending along laminating direction and electrically connected to the internal electrodes and a wiring part connected to the external electrodes, a resin part, mutually fixing one end surface in the laminating direction of the multilayer piezoelectric element and a mounting surface of a connection member placed to face the one end surface, wherein the resin part is continuous from the one end surface and the mounting surface to a front edge part of the wiring part fixed to the external electrodes; and the resin part covers the front edge part of the wiring part. 6. The unit of piezoelectric element as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the connection member is a weight member.
