A method is provided for manufacturing a resonance device, the method includes forming a recessed portion that forms a vibration space for a resonator in an object that is at least one of an upper lid and a lower lid and includes etching on the object by isotropic etching while the object is covered with a mask having a peripheral portion having a frame shape and a stopper formation that extends from the peripheral portion toward an inside of the peripheral portion. The method further includes etching the object while the object is covered with the mask to form a stopper at a position overlapping with the stopper formation on a bottom surface of the recessed portion in a plan view of the object. In this aspect, the stopper restricts collision of the resonator with the bottom surface of the recessed portion.
