An intermediate transfer recording medium is such one wherein a transferable layer is peelably provided on a substrate, an image is formed on a receptor layer partially constituting the transferable layer by thermal transfer, and then the transferable layer is retransferred onto a transfer-receiving material. In the intermediate transfer recording medium of a first aspect, the peeling strength “a” of the image formed region and the peeling strength “b” of the image non-formed region, the regions being included in the transferable portion after the image is thermally transferred on the receptor layer, satisfies the following inequality (1): |a−b|≦b/2. In the intermediate transfer recording medium of a second aspect, the peeling strength of the transferable portion at the time of peeling it from the substrate is from 19.30442 to 96.52215 mN/cm (5 to 25 gf/inch), and the thickness of the transferable portion is 3 μm or less.
