noun
Literary or formal demonstrative noun referring to a distant place, often with a poetic or old-fashioned feel. In modern Japanese, あそこ or あちら are more common.
彼の地にはまだ見ぬ景色が広がっているという。
They say that in that place, unseen scenery stretches out.
かの地を訪れた者は、その美しさに言葉を失う。
Those who visit that place are left speechless by its beauty.
Common everyday word for 'there' or 'that place'; 彼の地 is much more literary and less frequent.
Polite or formal demonstrative for 'that direction/place'; 彼の地 carries a stronger literary or archaic nuance.
Compound of classical demonstrative 彼 (か, 'that') + possessive particle の + 地 (ち, 'land/place'). The reading かのち reflects older Japanese morphology.
