Otearai is another common term for 'toilet'.

Also, I was told that in Tokyo there may not be toilet paper available in the public restrooms, and taking along a packet of tissues (or collecting the freebie tissue packets offered as advertising by some businesses) would probably be a good idea. I hope this is no longer true, but, best to be prepared...

This is a very old site (1997), but an eye opener! I hope the bad ones have been cleaned up by now...ugh.

"And I ain't in it for the power,
And I ain't in it for my health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done,
You gotta do it yourself..."
