What is YukiGuni?

Snow Country (雪国 YukiGuni) is a term derived from the title of the novel by author Yasunari Kawabata. Considered a classic work of Japanese literature, Kawabata was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for this work in 1968. (wikipedia)

Kawabata wrote the novel when staying at the inn, Takahan, located on the hill at the north end of Onsen Street, in Yuzawa. His room is preserved as a museum and is open to the public.
