How to say "out-of-the-way" in Japanese

• 鳥も通わぬとりもかよわぬ
  expressionA vivid idiom: a place so remote that even birds do not pass that way. It is less common, so seldom the everyday choice — best when you want a striking image of extreme remoteness.
• 鳥も通わないとりもかよわない
  expression, i-adjectiveThe same expression as 鳥も通わぬ but with the negative in its ない form: a place so remote that even birds do not come. This is the straightforward version for ordinary speech or writing.
• 人目につかないひとめにつかない
  expression, i-adjectiveIts core sense is 'unnoticed, unseen' — literally not catching people's eye. Its 'out-of-the-way' is thus somewhere tucked away and easy to overlook, not somewhere far off, like a quiet spot people never stumble upon.

Both 「鳥も通わぬ」 and 「鳥も通わない」 depict extreme remoteness — a place so isolated that even birds do not pass — differing only in the negative form; 「人目につかない」 instead means unnoticed, so its 'out-of-the-way' is tucked away rather than distant.
