The killer was Akiko Kinoshita's companion and body double Yoko Asanuma, out of jealousy since Akiko always got fame and recognization but she only got to play second fiddle to her. Yoko first forged a letter in which Akiko said she was ill and wanted to commit suicide; later, she drugged Akiko and put a white kimono on her (while waring a similar one), taking her outside and leaving her to freeze to death in the snow.

Yoko first forged a letter in which Akiko said she was ill and wanted to commit suicide, then booked a room in the inn (which she knew of since she worked htere past-time long ago) and arranged so they'd spend the night there.

The following day, Yoko drugged Akiko and knocked her out when they were out skiing. She later took off her ski outfit and put a white kimono on her, burying Akiko in the snow, which would cause her a deathly hypothermia. Yoko then put Akiko's snow clothes, which included a full-face mask; this let her return to the inn unnoticed, and since then on she used her knowledge of the place to play the role of both women, tricking everyone into believing that Akiko was in their bedroom due to her "illness".

Later, the false letter containing info about Akiko's supposed "illness" was found, and everyone thought she had run away to kill herself. This was "confirmed" when her body was located in the snow.
  
As Yoko returned to the hot springs, she was seen by Ran from afar; however, the white robe she was wearing confused her, and she thought Yoko was the legendary Yuki-onna (a Japanese ghost whose trademark was her white clothes). Later, Akiko's body would be found, and thanks to the false letter everyone thought at first that she had killed herself out of depression for her supposed bad health.
