*''Japanese'': 飛地 ''(tobi chi)''
''Tobichi'', in the [[Edo period]] context, refers to land held by a ''daimyô'' as part of his territory that is geographically removed from the main portion of his territory.
Many [[han|domains]] held ''tobichi''. [[Tsushima han]], to take just one example, though based primarily on the island of [[Tsushima]] and controlling that entire island as its domain, also controlled small areas of land on the "mainland" of [[Kyushu]], in [[Hizen province|Hizen]] and [[Chikuzen province]]s.
When the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] claimed jurisdiction over nearly the entirety of [[Ezo]] ([[Hokkaido]]) in [[1855]], ordering [[Matsumae han]] to "return" portions of its territory to the shogunate, Matsumae was then granted small areas of land in [[Tohoku|Tôhoku]] (on mainland [[Honshu]]) to help make up for the loss.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 2 (1937), 19, 148.</ref>
