日本で靴を脱ぐ、本当の理由 | The Real Reason Japanese People Take Off Their Shoes (N2/N3)

In this video, I explain why Japanese people take off their shoes at home.Many people assume it is simply because Japanese people like cleanliness, but that is not the whole story.This video gently explains the way of thinking behind this habit, in a way that is easy for Japanese learners to understand.Key concepts:・Uchi and Soto (inside / outside)・Genkan (the entrance area of a Japanese home)・Kegare (spiritual impurity)・Misogi (ritual purification)Taking off shoes is not just a matter of manners.It is also a way of mentally transitioning from the outside world to a safe and comfortable inner space.I hope this helps you better understand Japanese culture and everyday Japanese life.*This video introduces cultural ideas in a simplified way and may not apply to every individual or household.*Recommended for learners around the N3–N2 level and anyone interested in Japanese culture.Good night, and otsukaresama deshita.📸 Follow my daily adventuresInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/i.am.yurichan☕ Support my creative journeyhttps://ko-fi.com/iamyurichan🎁 My Amazon Wishlisthttps://www.amazon.jp/hz/wishlist/ls/2FKV3EDTU9FIL?ref_=wl_share
