A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure 130 includes: subjecting a forming raw material to extrusion forming to obtain a segment-joined type honeycomb formed article 100 provided with honeycomb segments 1 and an outer peripheral portion 2 surrounding a whole outermost periphery of the honeycomb segments, wherein a slit-shaped gap 8 extending from one end face 11 to the other end face 12 is formed between adjacent segments, the adjacent honeycomb segments are joined by a belt-like joining rib 4 extending from the face 11 to the face 12 and having a thickness of 0.1 to 1.5 mm, and the honeycomb segments 1 have partition walls separating and forming cells; firing the honeycomb formed article 100 to form a honeycomb fired article 110; destroying the joining rib 4 in the honeycomb fired article 110; and forming a buffer portion 7 by filling a bonding material in the gap 3.
