Outline
The rice high in quality grows well because of the extreme temperatures between morning and night and the water which is rich in nutrients.
"Koshihikari", one of the famous rice brands in the world, has being made in this area.
You can see the glassy surface of the water on the rice field from April, after snow melts until June, but you can also see a saltpan-like view when it's snowing and a beautiful green terraced field through June to August.
