Yukigassen is a traditional snow sport in Japan. Every year in the snowy areas of Japan, a national Yukigassen competition is held. At the same time, practice Yukigassen (indoor Yukigassen) are held in non-snowy areas, using specially made bean bags instead of snowballs, so that the Yukigassen is not restricted by the environment.
