へ

to, towards, for

indicates direction or goal; pronounced え in modern Japanese

Noun + へ

The particle へ is used to indicate the direction or goal of a movement or action. It focuses more on the direction one is heading towards rather than the specific destination itself. It is commonly used with verbs of motion such as go, come, or return.

Noun (Place) + へ + Motion Verb

When used with a noun representing a place and a verb of motion, へ indicates the direction of travel.

I will go to the sea.

This way, please.

A letter to my teacher.

Note

While へ and に are often interchangeable when indicating a destination, へ specifically emphasizes the direction of the movement. Additionally, へ is pronounced as 'e' in modern Japanese despite being written with the hiragana character for 'he'.
