Well normally, they don't since as other pointed out it's just a waste of energy and money when you hang your clothes in the balcony. My cousin opted to get one since she has 3 kids, and clothes need to be dried quick or else their house would be full of clothes , and yes currently released washing machines here are already equip with dyers.

I'm not sure where the others live, but in my area there are around 3-4 coin laundry all equip with dryers so if i need to have my clothes dried quick I just go there and it would only cost me 100yen/20 minutes..

Most japanese homes that I've visited are using Western style toilet, mostly those ones with automatic shower/bidi or butt cleaner
Squat toilet are still very common, even the classy buildings do still have them. Basically Japanese woman do prefer the squat ones rather than western since they don't want their butt touching the bowl without sanitizing them.
