An optical disc device that irradiates a light beam on an optical disc having a recording layer in which information is recorded and a positioning layer in which tracks for specifying a recording position of the information in the recording layer are provided includes an information recording unit that irradiates a light beam for information on a target position in the recording layer to record the information by shifting a position in an optical axis direction of the light beam for information, a terminal-end recognizing unit that recognizes, when new information is recorded in a recording layer having a recorded area in which information is already recorded, a terminal end of the recorded area, and a target-position setting unit that sets the target position to separate the terminal end of the recorded area and a start end of a recording planned area in which information is recorded anew.
