Dated term for lodging costs; in modern Japanese 宿泊料 or 宿代 are more common.
See also: 宿代
At old inns, it was common to pay the accommodation fees in advance.
Compound of 宿 (yado, 'lodging') and 銭 (sen, 'money' or 'coin'). The reading せん for 銭 is an older Sino-Japanese reading, reflecting the term's historical usage.
