In the traditional places we've stayed we take our shoes off just inside our room. Sometimes we take them off as we enter the hotel and are given slippers. If Rich is really lucky he'll be given a special pair of slippers that actually fits, otherwise he's wandering around on tip toes and falling up the stairs in tiny slippers. Then when you get to any tatami mats you take your shoes/slippers off.
Because the toilet used to be outside it is considered a dirty area so you get special toilet slippers - even if there is only enough room to sit on the toilet! Then you've got to remember to take them off again when you leave. So much to think about...
