A hydrogen-storage container (10) which demonstrates a high hydrogen-storage capacity, which is reduced in mass, and which is suited to be installed in an automobile is provided. In a hydrogen-storage container (10) holding a hydrogen-occlusion alloy (30) in which hydrogen is occluded, an air gap portion (40) formed in the container is filled with hydrogen gas whose pressure is above a plateau equilibrium pressure of hydrogen gas contained in the hydrogen-occlusion alloy (30) at a temperature of a location where the hydrogen-storage container (10) is installed. This hydrogen-storage container (10) has a liner (20) made of metal or resin, and a fiber-reinforced resin layer (25) provided outside the liner (20).
