Changing room
Changing rooms with narrow entrances may not be accessible to wheelchair users.Also, some people don't know which of the many lockers they should use.Especially when using the locker for the first time, please have the staff explain the location and how to use the locker.

Visually impairedin the case of:
“I don’t know where the available lockers are” etc.

Points for implementing general orientation for persons with disabilities
Physically disabled person (wheelchair)in the case of:
``Because I'm in a wheelchair, I can't get over the steps at the entrance.''
- Check the user's intentions and help by lifting the wheelchair.
Physically disabled persons (standing)/internally disabled personsin the case of:
"I want a place to sit while changing clothes," etc.
- If you are physically disabled (standing), you may not be able to put on your shoes unless you sit on a chair.Also, since many people get tired easily, it is a good idea to provide chairs etc. in the changing rooms.
Intellectually Handicapped Individualin the case of:
"I don't know how to use the locker" etc.
- Slowly and carefully explain how to use the product, have the staff put it into practice, and then have the user try it themselves so that they understand how to use it.
Points for implementing general orientation for persons with disabilities
The caregiver is of the opposite sexin the case of:
"Changing rooms are not available" etc.
- If the caregiver is of the opposite sex, it would be convenient to have rooms such as a ``family changing room,'' ``opposite-sex caregiver changing room,'' or ``care room.''Even if you are unable to prepare the equipment, you can still use a temporary changing room by partitioning off a corner of an empty meeting room, office, or lobby with a screen.
A bench has been installed where you can sit and change your clothes.
Some people have disabilities that prevent them from putting on their shoes without sitting down.Additionally, people with internal disabilities get tired easily and may not be able to change clothes while standing.
Priority access to changing rooms
People with disabilities may change clothes more slowly or need more space than people without disabilities.Also, if the caregiver is of the opposite sex, they will not be allowed in the changing room.If you have space, set up a priority changing room.Also, please post a notice at the entrance to the changing room so that users do not get lost.

Vertical lockers prioritize assistive device users
If you are wearing a lower limb assistive device, it cannot be stored in a regular size locker.If you have a vertical locker, make sure that it is reserved for people using assistive devices or that they have priority access.
●[Higashikurume City Sports Center]
The vertical lockers are equipped with handles to make them easy to open and close, even for people with limited mobility.
Handles are retrofitted to vertical lockers to make them easier to open and close, even for people with weak grip strength. (Higashikurume City Sports Center)
