The drying method for a green honeycomb molded body according to the invention is a method for drying a green honeycomb molded body having a plurality of through-holes. The method includes the steps of: mounting a green honeycomb molded body on a gas dispersion plate; and irradiating the molded body with microwaves simultaneously while supplying heated air through the gas dispersion plate into the through-holes of the molded body, in an atmosphere containing water vapor surrounding the molded body; wherein prior to the supply of heated air and the irradiation of microwaves, a sealing member is situated on the outer side of an edge of the molded body on the gas dispersion plate side, to prevent the heated air from the gas dispersion plate from contacting the outer peripheral wall of the molded body.
