    At least all the Japanese homes I've been to have to take off their shoes (and I don't rule out those who don't).

    There are definitely more private houses than apartments (there are many more people living in apartments than private houses).

    White socks to the calves are generally only worn by school girls or school baseball teams.

    Yes. I have lived in Japan for many years. I have developed the habit of taking off my shoes when I enter the door.

    Why? In fact, this is also a habit. In the past, almost all Japanese people lived in Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats, and walking around with shoes on would break the tatami mats.

    The other thing is to take off your shoes and go into the house so that you don't bring in the dirt on your feet. It is also a hygienic habit.

    In recent decades, the number of high-rise apartments in major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka has increased, almost exceeding the number of houses. One is that the high-rise apartment can save land, and the other is that the equipment in the high-rise apartment is very convenient, electric cooking, electric bathing, as long as you press the button. So the average young person is willing to live in an apartment.

    As for wearing white socks. Because white socks give a clean, refreshing feeling. In addition, wearing white socks is fashionable.

In Japan, as long as there is a place that shows the height of the floor, it means that you need to take off your shoes or slippers. Even now, the culture of taking off shoes has been internalized as a part of Japanese life.
