There is a reason. "to" indicates movement e.g. If you leave the house and walk north, you will find rice fields. The expression "to the north / south / east / west of [place]" also implies that it is not far from the place.
You use "in" for location in a place which has boundaries e.g. London is in England. The money is in my pocket. In your sentence, "in the north" would only be correct if there were previous context which told us the relevant region e.g. in the north of Europe, in the north of the local region.
