In a track offset adjusting method of an information recording medium, data are recorded onto first and second tracks of an information recording medium. No data are recorded on at least one of tracks adjacent to each of the first and second tracks. After the data recording onto the first and second tracks, data are recorded onto the third track adjacent to the inner circumferential side of the first track and onto a fourth track adjacent to the outer circumferential side of the second track. Thereafter, reproduction signal qualities of the first and second tracks are calculated on the basis of reproduction signals obtained by reproducing the data recorded on said first and second tracks. The track offset is adjusted on the basis of the reproduction signal qualities of the first and second tracks.
