Have you ever had a snowball fight with your friends? ❄️ It’s super fun, right? In Japan, they’ve turned this playful winter activity into an exciting sport called Yukigassen! 🇯🇵
Yukigassen (which means “snow battle” in Japanese) is not just about throwing snowballs for fun; it’s a thrilling competition with teams, rules, and lots of action! Think of it like a snowball fight mixed with dodgeball and capture the flag.
Meet Yuzuki, Naoki, and Koki—three friends from the Muroran Institute of Technology in Japan. They’re passionate Yukigassen players who train hard to become the best! 🏆 Their love for this snowy sport has brought them closer together as teammates and friends.
In Yukigassen, two teams of seven players each battle on a snow-covered field. Each team has 90 snowballs, and the game lasts for three rounds. The goal is to eliminate the other team’s players by hitting them with snowballs or capturing their flag!
It’s fast-paced, exciting, and full of snow-powered fun! ☃️ Yukigassen has even become popular in countries like Finland, Norway, and Canada.
So next time it snows, why not try your own version of Yukigassen with your friends? Just remember to play safe and have a blast! 😊
