1. A method of manufacturing a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery comprising:
a water-washing step of washing a lithium-nickel composite oxide containing lithium (Li), nickel (Ni), and an element M (wherein, the element M is at least one element selected from Mn, V, Mg, Mo, Nb, Ti, Co, and Al) with water, and conducting a filtration to form a washed cake;
a mixing step of mixing, while heating, the washed cake and a tungsten compound without lithium to obtain a tungsten mixture; and
a heat treatment step of heat-treating the tungsten mixture,
wherein a water content of the washed cake is 3.0% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less,
a ratio of a number of tungsten atoms contained in the tungsten mixture to a total number of nickel and the element M atoms contained in the lithium-nickel composite oxide is 0.05 at. % or more and 3.00 at. % or less,
a temperature of the mixing step is 30° C. or higher and 70° C. or lower, and
a mixing time of the mixing step is 10 minutes or more and 30 minutes or less.
