Difference between 日{に}本{ほん} and 来{らい}日{にち}


What is the difference between `日{に}本{ほん}` and `来{らい}日{にち}`? Both of them
means `Japan` right? I understand that `来{らい}` means `next`, like
`来{らい}年{ねん}`. But above context is interesting to me.




「日本」 means "Japan".

「来日」 means a "visit to Japan" said from the Japan side. "A visit to Japan"
said from the visitor's country side, it is 「[訪日]{ほうにち}」.

Here, 「来」 means "to come", not "next".
