Most Japanese would understand the sentence 'Bakansu wa dou deshitaka?'. Those who don't would be either very old or young because they aren't familiar with the word 'bakansu'. That word comes from French and it still sounds pretty 'affected' to some Japanese. So you might opt for the word 'Oyasumi' just to be safe. It all depends on what type of a person you are talking to.
