To manufacture an ink jet recording sheet of superior ink absorbability, resistance to cracks and glossiness in which a film improving agent not containing boron generating an environmental problem is used.

An ink jet recording sheet is provided with at least one ink acceptive layer containing inorganic solid fine particles and a hydrophilic binder on a substrate, and at least one kind compound represented by the formula is contained in the ink acceptive layer. In the formula, A represents a hydroxyl and an amino. R1, R2 and R3 represent a substituent bonded with one atom out of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a carbon atom, an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom and a sulfur atom, and R2 and R3 can be bonded together to form a cyclic structure.
