In a Japanese house you should always remove your shoes. The area in which you take off your shoes is called the genkan. In this area one slips off their shoes careful not to touch the floor of the genkan with their socks. Step up onto the raised floor in socks and put on the slippers if desired. It is impolite to enter barefoot so one should wear socks.

When you enter a japanese house what should you do?

Before going to house of japanese you have to buy some food for owner because you are going to disturb the house a little. You have to say "ojama shimasu" before steping in the house. Then you take off your shoes propaly and put it in the left corner. Then the owner of the house will give you a drink caled "ocha" and with that some times snack to eat with will come. You have to haold the cup of ocha with both your hands. Do not drink your ocha too fast. If you drink too fast the wife of that house have to take ocha again and that is a bad manner. In the last when you go out from the houseyou have to say "ojamashimashita"
