Two-dimensionally annular or spiral lands and grooves are formed in a magneto-optical disk having a magnetic layer composed of a magnetic domain wall displacement layer, a switching layer, and a record retaining layer. The lands and the grooves are each used as a recording and reproducing area. A side wall present between the land and the groove and its vicinity are annealed so as to change the physical properties of these areas. The width of the land is larger than the width of the groove by 0.5 to 4 times the width of the side wall. Further, the ratio of the width of the land to the width of the groove is 1.05 to 1.20. Furthermore, the grooves have a period of 1.0 to 1.2 microns.
