It depends on the context. “Go in” is like saying Go Inside.
“Go to” is a direction.
So you can say...
“Go to his house, and then go inside to grab my car keys.”
- English (US)
That would change the meaning of the sentence....
“Someone has to go in his place” = Someone has to take his position and go somewhere.
Since my coworker was sick, I went to the meeting in his place and jotted down notes for him.
“Someone has to go to his place” = Someone has to go to his house.
