Yukigassen (雪合戦, Yukigassen^?) is a snowball fighting-competition from Japan. Today there are annual tournaments in Sobetsu, Hokkaido in Japan, Kemijärvi in Finland and Vardø in Norway

The word Yukigassen consists of the Japanese words yuki (snow) and gassen (throw). Hence Yukigassen means to toss snow or to throw snowballs.
