Used Book in Good Condition
Rosetta Stone sucks donkey dong. Use Tae Kim's guide, Remembering the Kanji, and Genki. For listening, Pimsleur's and Japanese Pod 101 are quite good.
Language - Pimselur - I tried Collins and Gengo as well but Pimselur was the best by far. https://www.amazon.com/Pimsleur-Japanese-Level-Understand-Comprehensive/dp/0743523539
I would 100% have the Kansai Region in the ininerary. Osaka, Kyoto and Nara are all 1hr away from each other in a triangle and are all independently wonderful. Nara is a Day trip and you will see wild deer and the most amazing temple (my personal favorite and I think temples/shrines are boring) Osaka has a great street food culture going on in Dotonbori and Kyoto is the traditional capital and has lots of "Old Japan" hidden between the new, Nishiki Markets are pretty cool too.
Other than that I can reccomend Himeji Castle, Himeji is a beautiful town and the Castle is very impressive. Enjoy your trip!
