Usage
Noun + へ行く
Verb (dictionary form) + に行く
Explanation
へいく indicates movement toward a destination. It marks where someone is going. Use へ with a destination noun (e.g., 学校へ行く) or use the verb in dictionary form followed by に行く to express heading toward a place as a goal or plan of movement. The nuance focuses on the direction toward something, rather than the act of leaving. In casual speech, you can simply say 学校へ行く or 学校に行く; へ emphasizes the destination, に is also common and more general.}
