A magnetic recording system including follows: a recording head, a recording medium that includes a first recording medium layer, a second recording medium layer, and a substrate. The magnetic recording system includes an electric field applying device applying an electric field and a magnetic field applying device applying a magnetic field to the recording medium, a movement mechanism that moves them to an arbitrary position. The magnetic recording system has a function of controlling an applying direction of at least one of the electric field applying device and the magnetic field applying device, and the recording head is arranged at a position facing the recording medium.
