A method for manufacturing a fan-in-fan-out device which does not require processing of a small-diameter hole and improves work efficiency of installation of an optical fiber, includes: arranging a first holding member in a hole of a second holding member, the hole being larger than an outer diameter of the first holding member, and holding a plurality of optical fibers between the first holding member and the second holding member respectively along a plurality of grooves formed on an outer periphery of the first holding member or an inner periphery of the hole of the second holding member; heating and integrally melting the arranged first holding member, the plurality of held optical fibers, and the second holding member in a portion including an axial end portion of the second holding member; and drawing the melted portion.
