Seats 9 A&B on 777 to NRT-are they iffy?
Seat Guru gives them a caution because of close promimity to bathrooms. However, it looks like on the seating chart they have a lot of extra leg room which could be important if I am in a window and needing to get up and cross over when my spouse has the lieflat angled seats fully extended and is in the aisle seat. Am thinking about choosing them, but wanted to get the feedback of people that fly a lot of biz class on the 777

No extra leg room. Bathroom proximity not an issue, IME.

All NGBC seats on a given type have the same amount of legroom. I'll echo PresRDC's sentiments, which are that the loos are not so close as to present a noticeable bother.

We flew in those seats last year ORD-NRT and enjoyed them. The only seat difference we noticed was the thicker seat beat due to the airbag in it.
If available I would grab them.
Have fun!!

As mentioned above, you'll be in good shape in these seats.
Enjoy your flight.

9A also has one of the better views out of the window in J as it's ahead of the wing

Don't trust seatguru to be a scaled map of the layout. As others have said, all NGBC seats have the same legroom. 9A is a great seat!
