Hatago

Japanese: 旅籠 - はたご

An inn with meals that provided lodging for samurai and ordinary people at post stations in the Edo period. Originally, the word "hatago" was said to have referred to a low bamboo cage used to store horse rations. Hatago as an inn was established in the early Edo period and replaced the traditional wooden-type inns, but its distinctive feature was that the innkeeper cooked and served the meals to the guests. From the mid-Edo period, they differentiated into flat inns that only provided lodging for travelers and meal-serving inns that employed women. The buildings of inns were slightly smaller in size, with the upper level room, gate, and entrance removed from honjin and other buildings, and were classified into large, medium, and small. Priority was given to providing lodging to feudal lords and officials, but as the number of ordinary people passing by increased, more importance was placed on ordinary travelers as well. The number of inns also increased, and associations that could be considered the forerunners of inn associations, such as Naniwa-ko, were formed in various places. → Wooden accommodation → Related topics Imasu｜Ejiri｜Travel pass｜Inns and stations｜Inns and villages general register｜Shirasuka｜Takamiya｜Toriimoto｜Narai｜Hara｜Banba-juku｜Yoshida｜Inns

江戸時代の宿駅などで武家や一般庶民を宿泊させた食事付きの宿屋。元来旅籠とは馬料入れの丈の低い竹籠を指したとされる。宿屋としての旅籠は江戸時代初期に成立し，従来の木賃形式の宿屋にとって代わっていったが，その特徴は宿屋が食事を調理し，客に提供する点にあった。江戸時代中期以降，旅客を宿泊させるだけの平旅籠と，飯盛(めしもり)女などを置いた飯盛旅籠とに分化した。旅籠屋の建物は本陣などの上段の間，門構え，玄関などを取り除き，若干縮小した形態で，規模は大中小に分類された。旅籠では領主・役人への旅宿提供が優先されていたが，庶民通行の増加により一般旅行者にも比重が置かれるようになっていった。また旅籠の数が増え，浪花(なにわ)講など旅館組合の先駆ともいうべき講が各地に結成された。→木賃宿
