Shoes Off at the Genkan ALWAYS Step up out of outdoor shoes at the entrance, into slippers — and switch to toilet slippers in the bathroom.
Quiet After 21:00 CURFEW No laundry, vacuuming, or music after nine in wood-frame and light-steel buildings. Sound travels through everything.
Sort Garbage by Ward Rules STATUTORY Burnable, non-burnable, recyclables, PET (caps and labels off) — on the right days, in the right bags, by morning.
Tatami: No Drag, No Wet CARE Lift furniture, never drag it. Wipe spills instantly — tatami stains and molds fast.
