During a snowstorm, two woodcutters take shelter in a hut. One of them is an older man who is killed by a Yuki-onna spirit. Yuki-onna translates to "snow woman." She takes pity and spares the younger man's life due to his handsomeness and youth. She leaves him with the stipulation that if he ever says a word of what happened to the other man, she will return and kill him. Later on, he meets a gorgeous young woman named Yuki, who is traveling through his town. The young man falls in love with Yuki, and they have three children together. One night, he tells her about the events that occurred with the Yuki-onna and that she looks strangely like the snow woman. She then reveals that she is the Yuki-Onna. A snowstorm suddenly hits, and she tells him she will not kill him because of their children, but if he treats them poorly, she will.
