Only

Actually, I usually say

I went all the way to my friend's house, but (unfortunately) he wasn't there.

I think that way is more natural than saying

Only he wasn't there.

What is the meaning of all the way

Ishigreen2

All the way means It took time and energy to go somewhere.

I went all the way to Tokyo to see the game but it was cancelled.

It implies you went far from your home for only one reason and you would not have gone if you knew you couldn't do the thing you wanted which was visit your friend.

I see!!thanks!!
May I ask you a question?
If I have two reasons, can I use all the way?

Ishigreen2

Yes, it is possible, however, "all the way," implies that one action or purpose was more important and you may not have gone if you knew you couldn't do the important thing... at least on that day.

Thank you!!

(本を届けないとダメだったので、結構遠いんだけど)友達のうちまで頑張って行ったのに、(家にいなくて)無駄足になっちゃった。

という感じですかね。カッコ内は、そういう状況のもとで使う感じです。

ありがとうございます
