Light emitting device and method of manufacturing light emitting device

A method of manufacturing a light emitting device, the method comprising:

• disposing a light emitting element on a wavelength conversion member such that a light emitting surface of the light emitting element faces a first surface of the wavelength conversion member opposite to a second surface of the wavelength conversion member, while providing a light guiding member so as to cover at least a portion of lateral surfaces of a light emitting element;
• forming a recess at a periphery of the light guiding member by removing a part of the wavelength conversion member at a periphery of the light guiding member;
• and
• disposing a reflecting member in the recess and to cover the light emitting element and the light guiding member.

• covering the light emitting element and the light guiding member with a first reflecting member;
• forming a recess passing through the first reflecting member at a periphery of the light guiding member by piercing the first reflecting member at the periphery of the light guiding member, and removing a part of the wavelength conversion member;
• and
• supplying a second reflecting member in the recess.
