<div class='writeup-body'>へ is a particle used when describing a place that someone or something is 'moving toward', or 'in contact with'. In many cases, the particles に and へ are interchangeable, but there is a slight difference in meaning. へ focuses more on the distance/effort required to get between (A) and (B), while に focuses more on the connection between (A) and (B). へ always comes after the noun signifying the destination.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>私（わたし）はフランスへ行（い）く。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I will go to France.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>明日（あした）東京（とうきょう）に行（い）く。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I will go to Tokyo tomorrow.</div></li></ul>In these examples, while they may seem the same at first glance, へ shows that there is a space between (A) and (B), while に puts the emphasis solely on the destination. This is why common expressions such as 'city/country name へようこそ' sound very polite. It is like saying 'Welcome, and we acknowledge your journey/effort to get here'.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>大阪（おおさか）へようこそ！</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Welcome to Osaka!</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>BPRニュースへようこそ。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Welcome to BPR News.</div></li></ul>In the TV-show example, this commonly means 'thank you for your effort to watch this particular show, out of all the ones you could have chosen'.</div>
