JLPT N3

～で有名

famous for

Structure

Noun (reason) + で有名

How it works

This structure explicitly states what a place, person, or thing is renowned or well-known for. The preceding noun specifies the reason for their fame.

Examples

この町は美しい花火大会で有名です。

This town is famous for its beautiful firework festival.

Common mistakes

Confusing it with '有名だ' which simply means 'famous'; '～で有名' specifies the 'what for'.

Tip

Think of 'で有名' as clearly listing the 'selling point' or the reason for renown.
