A method for manufacturing a light emitting apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes forming a light emitting section on a substrate, the light emitting section including a group of columnar sections formed of a plurality of columnar sections each including a light emitting layer, forming a first insulating layer on the substrate so as to cover the light emitting section, etching the tip of a protrusion-shaped section that contains the same substance as the substance of which the light emitting section is made and protrudes beyond the first insulating layer, forming a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer, and forming an electrode to be electrically coupled to the light emitting section on the second insulating layer.
