Club career
Jubilo Iwata
Born in Shizuoka, Goto joined Júbilo Iwata's academy in 2018; he then came through the club's youth ranks, while attending Iwata Higashi High School, and made his first-team debut on 20 July 2022, coming on as a substitute against Tokyo Verdy in the fourth round of the Emperor's Cup.

Throughout the season, the striker scored seven goals in 33 league appearances for Iwata, helping the team finish second in the league table and, as a result, gain promotion back to the J1 League after a single year of absence.

On 12 January 2024, he made his debut for RSCA Futures, scoring a penalty kick in a 1–1 league draw against Beerschot.
