The invention relates to a light emitting module and illumination device, capable of increasing the optical output and keeping the light output for a long time. According to one embodiment, a light-emitting module includes a module substrate, a reflective layer, conductive layers, a light-emitting element, and a sealing member. A reflective layer is provided on a surface of an insulating layer of the module substrate, and the conductive layers are provided in the vicinity of the reflective layer. Further, the light-emitting element is provided on the reflective layer. Moreover, the translucent sealing member has translucency and bury the reflective layer, the conductive layers, and the light-emitting element. The ratio of the area occupied by the reflective layer and the conductive layers to the sealed region sealed by the sealing member is equal to or greater than 80%.
