Snow Country is a stark tale of a love affair between a Tokyo dilettante and a provincial geisha that takes place in the remote hot spring (onsen) town of Yuzawa. The novel opens with the protagonist of the novel, Shimamura, riding a train to a remote onsen town. Shimamura is a rich, married man, who inherited his wealth and is a self-professed ballet expert. During the train ride, he observes a young woman (who is later revealed as Yoko) caring for a sickly man (named Yukio). He observes the woman through a reflection in the train window and is particularly enthralled by her eyes, as well as the sound of her voice. Although she wasn't employed as a geisha during his first stay, her situation changed during his second visit. However, Komako falls in love with Shimamura, which goes against the geisha tradition of meeting the customer’s demands without any emotional attachment. The climax of the novel happens during one of Komako's visits to Shimamura's room at the onsen inn. During their conversation, Shimamura calls her a "good woman", instead of a "good girl". At the very end of the novel, a fire occurs in the town warehouse. Shimamura and Komako come to observe the fire and see Yoko falling lifelessly from the warehouse balcony. Komako carries Yoko's body away from the burning warehouse, while Shimamura slinks back, observing the night sky.
