Your five words are very important words when a person comes to the Japan for the first time. 
I haven't been to Japan but I wish I could go there someday. I have been thinking about what to remember when I get there. I think these 5 (sets of words) would be helpful for a newcomer:
1) (Name of place) wa doko desu ka? (Where is _____?) - Very helpful in looking for unknown places. Also, don't forget Migi (right) and Hidari (left).
2) Greetings and such:
- O-namae wa? (What is your name?)
- Hajimemashite / Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu (Nice to meet you)
3) Sumimasen (Excuse me) - If I will need to approach and talk to someone
4) Ikura desua ka? (How much?)
5) Common "building" words:
- Iriguchi (entrance)
- Deguchi (exit)
- Hijougushi (emergency exit)
- Toire (toilet)

You are welcome. 
Oh, so sorry for the typographical error. For anyone else reading my post, it's not HijouguShi, it's HijouguChi.

Yes, konichiwa for hello, GOMENASAI for soory, Watashiwa nan des ka for what is your name? Domo arigato gozaimas, tomodachi for thank you very much, friend. The fifth is Sayonara for goodbye. This is the five words to remember if you happen to go to Japan.
