Izumo Kanata travels to the remote village of Ryujinmura to help his cousin Tsugumi manage a local hot spring inn. The village carries an old legend: once, a dragon goddess who protected the village fell in love with a human — something strictly forbidden — and as a consequence, the village has been blanketed in snow ever since. The daily rhythms of Kanata's new life in the inn unfold gradually against that legend, and the two stories find their way toward each other.
