The Ojiya Balloon Festival (Balloon Ikki) is one of Niigata’s major winter events, where dozens of colorful hot air balloons fly over the white, snow-covered plains. The highlight of the festival is the "Glow Balloon" event at night, where the balloons light up to the beat of traditional drums, creating a mystical and warm atmosphere against the cold winter sky. It is a spectacular celebration of winter and community spirit.

Designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, the matches emphasize the power and spirit of the bulls rather than victory or defeat, as most end in a draw to respect the animals. It is a powerful and unique cultural experience that reflects the deep bond between the local people and their livestock.
