Bathroom slippers
Ever practical, hygienic, and hospitable, the Japanese expect you to take your shoes off when you enter their home. But they also recognize that you might not want to wander into the toilet in your socks and then back around the house. The solution: toilet slippers
You can slip them on at the door of the bathroom and do your business, taking them off again when you’re done, ensuring your socks (or bare feet) haven’t come into contact with anything unsavory that may be on the bathroom floor.
