An objective of the present invention is to provide recombinant microorganisms efficiently producing optically active 1,3-butanediol, which is useful as a material for synthesizing pharmaceuticals and such, and provide methods for efficiently producing optically active 1,3-butanediol using the recombinant microorganisms. As a result of dedicated research for achieving the above objective, the present inventors succeeded in producing recombinant microorganisms in which the activity of an enzyme catalyzing the reduction reaction represented by Formula 1 is enhanced and which produce a diol compound represented by Formula 2.
