An inkjet recording apparatus, including: a recording head for jetting ultraviolet ray curable ink onto a recording medium; an ultraviolet ray emitting device; a light source which emits ultraviolet rays; a first reflecting section for reflecting the ultraviolet rays; and a second reflecting section which is installed within the first reflecting section at an angle for preventing the ultraviolet rays from approaching the ultraviolet ray curable ink in the recording head, and behind the second reflecting section, a space for trapping stray ultraviolet rays diffused from the recording medium is formed.
