は～で有名(ゆうめい)Is famous for

In order to describe what certain things/places are famous for, ～は～で有名(ゆうめい) is a common expression that will be used. This construction is made up of the adverbial particle は, the case marking particle で, and 有名(ゆうめい), a noun that may also be used as an な-Adjective.

～は～で有名 is usually translated as '(A) is famous for (B)', but literally means 'with (B), (A) is famous/renowned'. The structure may be broken down in the following way:

(A) は - Presents (A) as the topic.

(B) で - With (B), in で's use as 'with'.

有名(ゆうめい)だ - Is famous.

As can be seen from these examples, こと (or の) may precede で有名(ゆうめい). This is quite common when an entire phrase is being described as the famous aspect of (A), rather than a single word.

Caution

If 有名(ゆうめい) is being used as a な-Adjective, it will appear before the famous thing/place itself. This form will usually be utilized when the speaker wants to give further detail about exactly what (A) is.
