How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical or metaphorical termination point of a path, corridor, or journey. Unlike general words for end, it implies a sense of finality where progress is physically blocked or impossible. It is frequently used in descriptions of geography or architecture to denote the furthest reachable point.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the end of time or a duration, as it is strictly for spatial or linear boundaries. For abstract endings like the end of a movie or a relationship, use 結局 or 完結 instead.
