A method of manufacturing a light emitting device includes: placing a light-emitting element above a light-transmitting portion of a first resin layer; placing a protective element above the first resin layer or a first surface of the light-emitting element; forming a second resin layer on the first resin layer so as to cover an entirety of the light-emitting element and an entirety of the protective element; removing a portion of the second resin layer such that an anode and a cathode of the light-emitting element and a first electrically-conductive structure and a second electrically-conductive structure of the protective element are exposed from the second resin layer; and forming a first electrode, which is electrically connected to the anode and the first electrically-conductive structure, and a second electrode, which is electrically connected to the cathode and the second electrically-conductive structure.
