PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for reproducing information capable of nearly uniformizing the influence from heating caused by heat from the near-field light emitting part of a near-field light generating device even in any position of the surface of an optical recording medium when information is reproduced and facilitating a heat countermeasure for preventing the bad influence from heat caused by the near-field light generating device. SOLUTION: The information reproducing device, which reproduces information from the optical recording medium 5 whose surface 5a is moved relatively to the device 100 by using near-field light L generated from the near-field light generating device 100, is provided with an optical recording medium storing part 10, a driving device 6 for moving the surface 5a of the optical recording medium 5 stored in the storing part 10, a speed control part CONT for controlling a moving speed of the surface 5a. When information is reproduced, the relative moving speed of the part facing the near-field light generating device 100 of the surface 5a of the optical recording medium moved by the driving device 6 is nearly set to a constant relative to the device 100 by the speed control part CONT. |
