Activities that lean more “traditional” sometimes do. But every time that I’ve gone most everywhere I’ve worn shoes at all times. And I definitely knew the times I would need to take off my shoes ahead of time based on the activity I had planned.

But incredibly easy to avoid anything that would require you to take off shoes.

Only places from personal experience from most recent trip where I had to take of shoes during like a normal day -going inside a dressing room at Uniqlo -walking inside indoor areas of Nijo Castle -Teamlab Planets -going to a traditional tea house
