There are provided a light emitting device that is capable of achieving a high-electric power and high-optical power device, a method of manufacturing the same, as well as a highly reliable lighting equipment thanks to improved heat release capability. In a light emitting device with a heat-release metallic part 5 made of metal and a packaging ceramic part 1 made of ceramics bonded to the metallic part 5 via an adhesive, the adhesive is a hot melt 6 that melts with heat at a melting temperature higher than a given temperature and has flexibility when it has been hardened and formed a bond, and the ceramic part 1 has pores h at least in a given bonding surface region so that the hot melt 6 is impregnated into the pores h.
