バックパッカー
含义: Backpacker — a budget traveler who carries a large backpack and stays in hostels or guesthouses.
Borrowed from English, バックパッカー refers to a style of independent, low-budget travel popular among Japanese young adults, especially during gap years or after graduation. The image is of someone with a large backpack exploring developing countries on a shoestring budget. In Japan, it carries connotations of adventure, self-discovery, and a certain romantic freedom that contrasts with structured package tours.
