PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an adamantane polyol by a regioselective hydroxylation reaction of adamantanol and/or adamantane diol using a microorganism. SOLUTION: Search is intensively carried out on the microorganism for regioselectively hydroxylating the adamantanol and/or the adamantane diol. As a result, a high regioselective hydroxylating activity for the adamantanol and/or the adamantane diol is found out in the genus Streptomyces and the genus Kitasatospora in which the activity is conventionally unknown. Thus, the method for producing the adamantane polyol using the microorganism is completed. That is, the method for producing the adamantane polyol comprising a step of reacting the adamantanol and/or the adamantane diol with the microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces or a treated substance thereof or the microorganism belonging to the genus Kitasatospora or a treated substance thereof is provided.
