[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d look into how shorts are likely to be received. Japan remains a fairly conservative place. Have shoes you can easily take off when entering places. And I’m glad to see you’re aware of the importance of not smelling bad. [/quote] Shorts are fine. You won’t see many Japanese women wearing them without tights underneath but no one expects foreigners to subscribe to Japanese social norms. Kansai is moderately more conservative than Tokyo, but again: if you don’t look Japanese no one cares. Shoes that are easy to take off and on is a very good idea; if you’ve visiting temples/historical buildings/traditional restaurants you’ll have to take your shoes off and there will be limited seating to do so.[/quote]
