    Synonyms (へ (e): to; toward): In the sense indicating destination, the particles へ and に are often interchangeable (ni), though there is a slight difference of connotation, emphasis. へ emphasizes the journey to the destination (e), while に emphasizes the arrival (ni), entering it. The distinction is not quite the same as between English to and into, に is usually best translated as to because に (ni), unlike English into, can refer to the journey in addition to the arrival, entering the destination
