Like ここ and そこ, あそこ is a word that is used to identify a place in Japanese. The place that あそこ will be used to identify is somewhere that is separated from both the speaker and the listener. This translates roughly to ‘that place over there’ in English. あそこ can be used to identify both physical locations, and emotional ones.

• あそこの店（みせ）はいい。
  That store over there is good. (Not near the speaker or listener)
• あそこは嫌（いや）だ。
  I don't like that place. (Not near the speaker or listener)

In the same way that あれ can be used to point back to something that was mentioned previously, あそこ can be used to point back to a place that was mentioned previously. However, unlike それ or そこ, あれ and あそこ will only be used this way when both the speaker and listener have intimate knowledge of the topic.

• あそこも暑（あつ）い。
  That place over there is hot too. (That place mentioned earlier, for a place that both the speaker and listener have been)
