| basic information |
When entering a Japanese house, you should take off your shoes at the entrance (genkan) and change into slippers which are usually provided by the host.
When entering a room with tatami floor, you are supposed to take off your slippers, since one should step onto tatami mats only in socks or barefoot.
Finally, you will find special toilet slippers for exclusive usage inside the washroom. Leave your usual slippers outside the door while using the washroom.
