also: たびやど
noun
travellers' inn; stage inn
A somewhat old-fashioned term for an inn where travellers stay, especially along a route or in a post town. Modern Japanese more commonly uses 旅館 or 宿.
江戸時代の旅宿は、街道沿いに多く見られた。
During the Edo period, travellers' inns were often found along the highways.
この町には昔ながらの旅宿が一軒だけ残っている。
Only one old-fashioned travellers' inn remains in this town.
Obsolete kana usage; the reading たびやど is marked as out-dated.
Compound of 旅 (travel) and 宿 (lodging). The reading りょしゅく is the on'yomi, while たびやど is a kun'yomi reading now considered obsolete.
