Everyone Has Bathroom Slippers In Japan

Most homes in Japan are shoes-free, meaning that guests take off their shoes upon entering a home and leave them by the door. Because of this, most people keep a pair of bathroom slippers for people to wear when they go into the restroom. These slippers can be worn by anyone visiting the home, but they should be put back just as they were found, as not doing so breaks etiquette.

Using these slippers to walk around the home is also considered rude, so make sure you leave them in the bathroom if you ever visit a home in Japan.
