A method for manufacturing a light emitting device includes: forming a first reflector that covers outer peripheral faces of a light transmissive member; forming a light guiding member covering at least a portion of the light transmissive member, a portion of a lower face of the first reflector, and at least some portions of lateral faces of a light emitting element disposed under the light transmissive member; and forming a second reflector covering a portion of the lower face of the first reflector that is exposed from the light guiding member and located outward of the light guiding member.
