I found a great site that has a list of Japanese phrases.

You could say:
Where is the __________ -- __________ wa doko desu ka?
EXAMPLE: Where is the telephone? -- Denwa wa doko desu ka?

or

Excuse me, I am lost. I do not speak Japanese. Please show me how to get __________ . --Suminasen, michi ni mayoi mas--ta. Nihongo o hanasemasen. __________ e no ikikata o oshiete kudasai.

These phrases might also be helpful:
Where is it? -- Doko desu ka?
Please show me -- Misete kudasai
Where is the toilet? -- Toire wa doko desu ka?

I also found a audio of "where is" (It's a .wav file so it wont play here automatically):
http://japanese.about.com/library/media/audio/dokodesuka.wav
It is written as ~ wa doko desuka. or ～はどこですか。
For a great audio resource, check out:

This might be more that what you are looking for, but I also found some instructional videos on YouTube:
Japanese Basic, Series I - Where Is It? (this one is lengthy at 29:36)
