A method for manufacturing a ceramic body having a honeycomb structure includes bringing titania particles and alumina particles into contact with each other such that the titania particles and the alumina particles are adhered to each other and form a precursor including particles having the titania particles and the alumina particles, combining the precursor with a binder material such that a raw material paste including the precursor and the binder material is prepared, forming a body including the raw material and having a honeycomb structure, and sintering the body having the honeycomb structure such that a ceramic body having the honeycomb structure is formed.
