No difference. Heya is used as a stand-alone. -as in "I belong to a heya".
When stating a specific heya, it's Kitanoumi-beya or Tokitsukaze- beya.I
don't know the exact English grammar rule, but it's kind of an ownership
thing, if you will...

I think it's actually not a grammatic but rather a phonetic issue. The
language has simply been changed in its spelling and construction because of
how people actually pronounce it.

Not that it really matters...

No, there is no difference between "heya" and "beya". These two words
are same words and same meaning.

In Japanese language rule pronauciation of "heya" changes to "beya"
after a word.

Ex.
sumo + heya = sumo beya
kodomo(child) + heya(room) = kodomo beya
and so on...

hello
I asked the same question to liliane fujimori and she answer me that.
the two words means room(or stable in case of sumo)
but beya is only used in the second part of a word
EX:musashimaru is a member of musashigawa heya
musashimaru is a member of musashigawa sumobeya
