In Japan, take off your shoes at the entrance to all homes, and most business and hotels. Usually a rack will be provided to store your shoes, and pair of guest slippers will be put nearby; many Japanese bring a pair of indoor slippers just in case, though.
Never wear slippers when you need to step onto a tatami mat (used in most Japanese homes and hotels), and be careful to remove the toilet slippers waiting for you in the bathroom. It is extremely bad form, for example, to reenter the main room of a house wearing slippers that have been running across a dirty area.
Unlike in westen cultures, the Japanese bath is used after you have washes and rinsed, and feel like like soaking in extra-hot water for 10, 20, 30 minutes. If you happen to be invited into a Japanese household, you'll be given the honor of using the bath first, usually before dinner. Be extra careful so as not to dirty the water in any way because of its importance.
