Sightseeing and trips

Sights, day trips, hot springs and the words in a travel brochure.

These words go beyond the booking and the luggage to what a trip is for: sights, local specialities, hot springs, the day out. Several of them are formal compounds standing beside a plain verb for the same thing — 宿泊(しゅくはく) beside 泊(と)まる, 見物(けんぶつ) beside 見(み)る, 訪(おとず)れる beside 行(い)く — and the compound is what appears on signs, tickets and booking forms.
