noun
sojourner; visitor; temporary guest
Refers to a person who is staying temporarily in a place, often as a guest or traveler. Somewhat formal or literary; in everyday speech, 滞在客 or 旅行者 may be more common.
その宿は逗留客で賑わっていた。
The inn was bustling with sojourners.
彼は逗留客として一週間滞在した。
He stayed for a week as a temporary guest.
General term for a traveler. 逗留客 implies a longer or more settled temporary stay, not just passing through.
Compound of 逗留 (とうりゅう, 'sojourn, temporary stay') and 客 (きゃく, 'guest, visitor'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word follows a common Sino-Japanese pattern for forming nouns.
