You may say 'ojama shimasu' when you enter. You should remove your shoes in the entrance, and may put on slippers if they are provided. (If the home has any tatami floors, you should not wear slippers on them; instead, you should only wear socks or go barefoot, as tatami can be easily damaged.) It is also polite to bring a gift, typically a food item or alcohol. If you are staying for a length of time, you may be invited to take a bath. In this case, if the home has an 'ofuro,' there are some special rules.

In Japanese homes with 'ofuro,' there is a tiled area with a drain in the floor separate from the bathtub. Here you may cleanse yourself with the detachable shower head as you normally would, using soap/shampoo as you wish. Once you're clean, and have rinsed away all of the soap/shampoo, you may enter the 'ofuro' (bathtub). The water is usually quite warm and very relaxing. Once you've had enough, do not drain the water, as it is reused.

When going to the toilet, make sure to remove your house slippers and put on the bathroom slippers.
