‘Due’ means that it is immediate or actually planned. ‘Going’ can mean the same thing but it is slightly more vague and perhaps not finalised.

Saying “due” makes it sound more like a task/implying that you have not been in a long while. “Visit” makes it sound like leisurely travel.

"We're due to visit Tokyo" basically means "It is about time we visited Tyoko" -if you are familiar with that expression.
