A hydrogen gas cooling method is provided. The method includes a preparation step and a cooling step. In the preparation step, a heat exchanger that contains a layered body of a first layer and a second layer is prepared. The first layer has a plurality of first micro channels, and the second layer has a plurality of second micro channels. In the cooling step, hydrogen gas is cooled by exchanging heat between the hydrogen gas flowing in the first channels with brine flowing in the second channels.
