We present wide-field (167 deg$^2$) weak lensing mass maps from the Hyper Supreme-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). We compare these weak lensing based dark matter maps with maps of the distribution of the stellar mass associated with luminous red galaxies. We find a strong correlation between these two maps with a correlation coefficient of $rho=0.54pm0.03$ (for a smoothing size of $8$). This correlation is detected even with a smaller smoothing scale of $2$ ($rho=0.34pm 0.01$). This detection is made uniquely possible because of the high source density of the HSC-SSP weak lensing survey ($bar{n}sim 25$ arcmin$^{-2}$). We also present a variety of tests to demonstrate that our maps are not significantly affected by systematic effects. By using the photometric redshift information associated with source galaxies, we reconstruct a three-dimensional mass map. This three-dimensional mass map is also found to correlate with the three-dimensional galaxy mass map. Cross-correlation tests presented in this paper demonstrate that the HSC-SSP weak lensing mass maps are ready for further science analyses.
