Abstract:
The honeycomb structure includes a honeycomb structure part having porous partition walls, and porous plugged portions, and when there is drawn a straight line as an inner boundary line which is positioned at a distance of 30% of a distance between an outer end surface and an inner end surface, from the inner end surface, and there is drawn a straight line as an outer boundary line which is positioned at a distance of 70% of the distance between the outer end surface and the inner end surface, from the inner end surface, each of the plugged portions has an outer region, and an inner region which is the region between the inner end surface and the inner boundary line and whose porosity is larger than a porosity of the outer region.
