「来る」(くる)は、何かか話し手のほうに動き、近づき、その場所に到着することです。
「行く」(いく、ゆく)は、何かが、話し手が今いる場所から、出発して移動することです。
例:「明日来てください。」
話し手は、聞き手に、明日、自分のいるところに移動し、訪問することを頼んでいます。
例:「明日妹がそちらに行きます。」
話し手の妹が、いま話し手のいる場所を出発して、「そちら」に移動します。
例:「夏が来ると思い出す。」
夏という季節になると、何かを思い出します。
例:「ゆく年、くる年」
去っていくyearと、新しく来るyear、という意味です。
例:「私は日本に行く。」
話し手は日本以外のどこかにいて、日本に向かって出発し、移動します。
例:「私は日本に来た。」
「来る」を使っているので、話し手は今、日本にいます。過去のある時点で、どこか他の場所から、いま話し手のいる日本に、移動しました。
例:「私は日本に来る。」
特殊な文脈でなければ、このようには言いません。「来る」を使っていることから、話し手(「私」)はすでに日本にいます。すでにいるので、他の場所から日本に来ることはできません。
