「へいく」の情報

へ行(い)く is a common construction used when describing a place that someone/something is 'heading'. The particles に and へ are mostly interchangeable, but there is a slight difference in meaning. に has the nuance of 'going to', while へ has the nuance of 'heading to'.

In these examples, while they may seem the same at first glance, へ focuses much more on the journey, while に puts more emphasis on the destination. This is true for other uses of に and へ as well. に will always put more focus on the destination of an action, where へ will put more emphasis on the distance traveled/between the origin and destination.

    There is a slight difference in nuance in that へ is more about the direction and に is more about the destination. You might see へ e.g. when talking about a bus route in terms of the final destination even though the bus also stops at other locations on the way.

    In general usage, に is vastly more popular than へ and it’s almost always a safe choice. Exceptions are mainly certain set phrases that use へ, and when it’s followed by the particle の as in への (there is no にの).

    @nfive, @nekoyama is absolutely right, but I want to add that when I was learning about this, I asked so many Japanese people what the difference was and most of them didn’t know and used them interchangeably.

    I know this topic is very old but @matt_in_mito made the point that I want to ask about.

    The grammar point for へ行くsays that ‘he’ and ‘ni’ are interchangeable but they have a different nuance to them.

     'ni' has the nuance of 'going to' - it focuses on the destination.
 'he' has the nuance of 'heading to'  - it focuses on the distance traveled

    Then BP follows up with the following two examples to complete their point.

    • ジョンは学校がっこうへ行いく。

    John is heading to school.

    • エルサは病院びょういんに行いく。

    Elsa is going to the hospital.

    Everything is great up to here. But then the examples for ‘he’ consistently uses it in the ‘to go to’ sense, e.g.,
