The two go to his room and begin to talk, whereupon the story returns to their first encounter. Later when the train stops by a station and Yoko cries out to a stationmaster, Shimamura is also fascinated by the clarity of her voice.Īrriving through the cold night at an inn in the town, Shimamura is startled to find the woman he knew, who has now become a geisha, waiting for him. While on the train, he becomes fixated on Yoko, a girl of unusual beauty who is nursing a sick man, and he finds himself especially entranced by the reflection of her face on his window.
As the season of heaviest snows in the region of western Japan known as the "snow country" begins in December, the wealthy Tokyo dilettante Shimamura journeys to a hot spring town to see a woman (who will later be called Komako) he met there half a year ago.
