Knees in shrines?

I'm traveling to Japan and recently heard that you can't show your knees in shrines or temples. This could be a serious problem, as I am bringing mostly bermuda shorts (that end just above my knees)
Any feedback on the issue would be greatly appreciated, and please answer quick if you can as I'm leaving in a few days

Japan Visitor,
You have been misinformed. There are no special rules about clothing at Japanese temples and shrines, so shorts and short skirts are just fine.

What you heard does apply in other Asian countries such as Thailand and Myanmar, but Dave in Saitama is right- you can wear what you like to a shrine or temple in Japan. Your shorts will not be an issue at all.
