An object of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb structural body for use in a filter, which can be provided with a large amount of catalyst, can suppress an increase in pressure loss upon collecting particulates, can have a high particulate collecting capability and can efficiently carry out a regenerating process and a toxic gas purifying process. The honeycomb structural body of the present invention is a pillar-shaped honeycomb structural body that is mainly composed of inorganic fibers and has a structure in that a large number of through holes are placed in parallel with one another in the length direction with a partition wall interposed therebetween. Herein, the inorganic fibers, which form the honeycomb structural body, are arranged in such a manner that more fibers are aligned along a face perpendicular to the forming direction of the through holes rather than aligned along a face in parallel with the forming direction of the through holes.
