The Monryu rice fields lie at relatively high altitude within a valley with an east - west axis, which means unobstructed sunlight, cooling shadows and breezes with cold mountain water irrigation causing significant temperature variation in a day’s span from morning to night. This allows rice plants to flourish and produce large, heavy, plump grains.
