Congrats on getting a new knife! Regarding sharpening it, it depends on your budget mostly among some other factors.
At the entry level, https://www.amazon.com/KING-KW65-Combination-Whetstone-Plastic/dp/B001DT1X9O/ is a classic advisement. Very affordable at $25, and great to practice technique with (use less fancy knives the first few times!).
Moving up a little bit, a 1000/6000 stone should still work fine, and i'd consider the Cerax or Imanishi https://www.chefknivestogo.com/ce1kcost.html and https://www.chefknivestogo.com/imtwosi1kst.html. These are $55-65.
From one of those stones, i'd expand up and down a little bit, if you want to reshape or fix gouges, grab the lower grit stone first, if you want to further polish, grab the high grit. Take a look in the Shapton Kuromaku series, which for a Gyuto they recommend the 220 Moss, 1500 Blue and 12000 Yellow. they can all be bought via this Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Shapton-Sharpening-Ceramic-whetstone-wirepuller/dp/B002LW76OS The full set of the 3 would be a bit under $150 before tax/shipping.
At the high end, is Shapton Glass, Choosera or Naniwa stones but i'd advise against spending $300+ on a set of stones right now if you don't have much experience.
