Explanation and Etymology - (旅行) ryokou
旅行 (ryokou) is a Japanese word meaning "journey". The word is composed of two kanji: 旅 (ryo) meaning "journey" and 行 (kou) meaning "to go". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese aristocracy began to travel to different parts of the country for religious, cultural and recreational purposes. The word ryokou was created from the junction of the Kanji ryo and kou to describe this activity of traveling. Since then, the word has become common in Japanese vocabulary to refer to any type of travel, whether inside or outside the country.How to Write in Japanese - (旅行) ryokou
