A method for manufacturing a light emitting device includes: providing a substrate including a placement region for placing a light emitting element on a top surface; mounting the light emitting element in the placement region; and forming a frame body surrounding the placement region on the substrate. The step of forming the frame body is performed by arranging a first frame body and second frame body on the substrate to surround the placement region. The second frame body have a larger diameter than the first frame body, and have the same thickness as the first frame body.
