From English inn.[1][2]

Pronunciation

Noun

   • 1988 March, JTB Travel, “Puchi penshon to rizōto inn [Small pensions and resort inns]”, in Jikokuhyō fukkokuban‎:

   • 2002, Noritake Kanzaki, Tabi to shoku [Travel and food], page 248:

     インは、滞(たい)在(ざい)する旅(りょ)行(こう)者(しゃ)に食(しょく)事(じ)を出(だ)したが、客(きゃく)は、食(しょく)事(じ)が出(だ)された時(とき)に、出(だ)された物(もの)を食(た)べなければならなかった。

     Inns served meals to overnight guests, but guests were obliged at mealtimes to accept whatever food was offered.

Usage notes

• Aside from usage in specific company or brand names, such as 東急イン (“Tokyu Inn”), this term appears to be used primarily to refer to smaller overnight lodging establishments outside of Japan.
