When entering a Japanese house, outdoor shoes are always replaced by slippers at the doorway (genkan). Slippers are provided by the host.
When entering a room with tatami floor, slippers are removed as well. Tatami should only be stepped on with socks or in bare feet.
Finally, there are special toilet slippers for exclusive usage inside the washroom. The usual house slippers are left outside the door while using the washroom.
Please also consult our special pages about sitting techniques and rules, table manners, toilets and bathrooms.
