Sports
[edit]While Japan Bandy Federation was founded in 2011, there has not been any full-sized bandy field in the country. So domestically only the variety rink bandy has been played. However, in the summer of 2017 an association for bandy was founded in Shintoku[1][2] and it was announced that a full-sized field will open in the 2017-2018 winter season.[3] It became a reality in December 2017 and the first Japanese championship took place there in January 2018, with the home teams capturing the titles.[4][5]
