Information recording medium, information recording apparatus and method, and information reproducing apparatus and method

In multilayer recording type information recording medium, it performs highly accurate tracking servo while adopting the zone CAV system, while increasing the recording density of information, for example, to enforce processing of a particular type, such as highly accurate tilt detection. Zone CAV system of information recording medium (11) comprises pre-guide layer tracks (TR) is formed (12), a plurality of recording layers laminated on the guide layer and (13). A track, a plurality of guide areas (22) having s husband physical structure that carries the guide information for guiding discretely at preset predetermined distance following arrangement interval in the track direction, and the phase in the radial direction are staggered across the plurality of tracks over a plurality of adjacent tracks, it is arranged. A plurality of guide region, among the plurality of slots formed by divided in the track direction, the track direction adjacent to each phase over a plurality of tracks and radially not adjacent have not within a portion of the plurality of slots to, are located.
