Because in ancient time the entire house was a bed.
Why do you sleep on beds? To avoid sleeping directly on the floor, which is dirty, humid, crawling with all kinds of insects.
But in ancient times in Japan the houses were built over a platform which protected the house from dirt, humidity and insects. The entire house was a bed, so to speak.
That is why to this day Japanese people remove their shoes before entering the house.
