A white light emitting device includes a blue light emitting diode chip that emits blue light in a specific wavelength band, a first resin layer that seals the blue light emitting diode chip and includes a cured product of silicone resin, and a second resin layer that covers the first resin layer and includes phosphor powder, which absorbs the blue light and emits light in a specific wavelength band, and a cured product of transparent resin. The phosphor powder has a composition represented by the following Formula (1): (Sr1-x-yBaxEuy)2SiO4  (1) (in Formula (1), x and y satisfy a condition that 0.05
