I've searched on google and font sites. The closest I found was [ Soukou Mincho ], but it's not quite the same. Help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Traced back the page I screenshotted image from: https://realkana.com/hiragana/ (Bottom box, second font)

U̶P̶D̶A̶T̶E̶:̶ ̶A̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶w̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶J̶a̶p̶a̶n̶e̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶a̶n̶k̶s̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶.̶ ̶F̶o̶n̶t̶: もじくみ仮名

♦ WELP. At a closer inspection, they're different. [paste wrysmile.jpg here]

  • Hi GerardFalla. Did you really have to point that out? I have specified my search on google, multiple font sites and my unsatisfactory finding. IMG is from a while back, I doubt that would mean anything. I followed the template of similar questions nobody had a problem with. Even under the expectation of no reply, that led me to sign up and ask ..only to get slammed by you who seem to be insinuating I've made a grave mistake. OH. For tagging "font" while talking about font? Haha wow. If these unique rules were so important it should've been introduced upon registration.

    Again, welcome... a comment encouraging question refinement (which in fact is not what you received) and/or providing an informational referent to a canonical font ID question is in no way a ‘slam’, either in intent or in execution. Had I an issue with how you’d worded, I’d have said so unequivocally - if I felt this question strayed far enough from the “how to ask font questions” guidelines, I’d have voted to close, which I didn’t do: I encourage you to read for comprehension, not umbrage. I’m hoping someone in our group of font stalwarts can help you find this font!

    Could you mention where you got this kana listing? It might give some hints while also properly crediting the image source.

  • The image is a screenshot I took and edited myself from some time ago. Unfortunately I don't remember the site itself but I could try tracing it back. Give me a day or two.

It's 光朝 released by Morisawa. You can use it partially freely in the form of web font via their TypeSquare service.

enter image description here

I'm very sure that it is an adaptation of 築地初号仮名, a classic old-style typeface in Japanese metal type history. It has a lot of modern revivals (so is your もじくみ仮名) as much as Caslon and Garamond do, so you can easily find similar fonts.
