あそこ

あそこ refers to a place far from both the speaker and the listener. It is part of the ko-so-a-do demonstrative system for places.

Demonstrative series

• ここ: here (near speaker)
• そこ: there (near listener)
• あそこ: over there (far from both)
• どこ: where (question)

Form note

Unlike other あ-series demonstratives (あれ, あの), あそこ has an extra そ. The expected form would be *あこ, but あそこ is standard.

Register

A more polite equivalent is あちら, commonly used in customer service and formal speech.
