A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure includes preparing a material composition containing at least a silicon carbide powder and a binder. The honeycomb structure is manufactured by molding the material composition to form a pillar-shaped honeycomb molded body having a number of cells disposed in parallel with one another in a longitudinal direction with a cell wall therebetween; carrying out a degreasing treatment on the honeycomb molded body; and carrying out a firing treatment on the honeycomb degreased body. The degreasing treatment is carried out at a temperature of about 250 to about 390° C. and under O<SUB>2 </SUB>concentration in the atmosphere of about 5 to about 13% by volume.
