A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes at least a soft-magnetic underlayer, a non-magnetic underlayer, a ferromagnetic intermediate layer, a non-magnetic intermediate layer, and a perpendicular magnetic recording layer sequentially stacked on a non-magnetic substrate. In an embodiment, the ferromagnetic intermediate layer is formed of a CoCr based alloy, a product Bs·t of a saturation magnetic flux density and film thickness of the ferromagnetic intermediate layer is within a range of 0.15 to 3.6 T·nm, and the non-magnetic intermediate layer has a film thickness of 3 nm or more.
