A light emitting device includes a substrate, light emitting elements, light transmissive members, an underfill, and a cover member. The light emitting elements are mounted on the substrate. The light transmissive members are each disposed on an upper surface of each of the light emitting elements. The underfill covers an upper surface of the substrate, lateral surfaces of the light emitting elements, and lateral surfaces of the light transmissive members between the light transmissive members. The cover member covers an upper surface of the underfill and has a hardness greater than a hardness of the underfill.
